Once you have that understeer problem figured out I would then add the TRE 1.5 way 12 plate diff into the equation. that diff will let you POWER OUT of the corners like a rwd car but you need to be positioned correctly to take advantage of that first which is why I said take care of the understeering problem FIRST.
Good luck

I would let a skilled eve driver take my car for a ride if I could find one. I am always the only one around here and since I come in first I can't be called a total newb. 
I try and watch a lot of in-car videos and they seem to do what I do without issues. I am hoping a quality spring will fix my issues. Any advice on tire pressure from you guys who ran RS3's?

It is on turn in but mostly mid corner. I have eight events under my belt so far with all of my SCCA races being top two in Street modified. My shocks have 5 clicks from soft in the front and 15 clicks from soft in the rear. As noted my stock rear sway bar is drilled.

I race in Street Modified with 255/35 dunlop z1 star specs. It sounds like driver error to be honest. The car set up sounds right. Im going to assume your tire pressure to be around 38-40psi hot.
Sounds like your coming in to the corner to fast and at the wrong angle. Mid turn understeer sounds like you are turning the steering wheel to far to make up for the bad entry angle.

-3 deg camber is already a lot of camber for a street driven car (tire wear). Start with stiffer springs and dial the rebound/dampening in, then a rear sway bar. And if that doesn't completely fix it, LSD front and rear does wonders for a predictable neutral handling... but are not cheap.
But for auto-x, it's on the low side. Particularly with the soft springs and roll bar setup he has. Depends on the tire too though as some tires do better with more or less camber.

If your looking for more aggressive differential your better spending your money in the rear diff with the TRE 12plate Max Lock. Thats the best mod for an evo hands down.

New to my evo, only had it a couple of months. Only street use for now, might like to try some ax at some point. I'd like to get rid of the turn-in to mid corner understeer I experience. My limited experience in fwd cars has me wanting to add a larger rsb, but reading here it seems like that isn't the best option. Does the rear diff rebuild or acd reflash have any effect off throttle, or is it only when you are on the power?
