lately the back end gets loose a lot quicker. Maybe it's the cooler, denser, air. Can't be the drop-ins, but could be the Hotchkis or the quickly diminishing rear tread. Even the Ark sounds deeper but the car certainly seems more eager. Adding mods slowly keeps the car fresh and still fun to drive as I approach one year.

cold road/tires can play a big part in that. better keep your traction control on

Probably the stiffer rear sway and balder tires.

Cooler weather = better torque

BUT

Worn tires = more oversteer

Also, with cooler temps, you should check your overall tire pressures, as every 10 degree F drop means 1 PSI less air pressure in each tire.

My TPMS light has already been on but another couple months and I'll be on winter tires.

I always felt that fall/winter months added 10 to 15 hp/tq to the 'G .. it also helps that I now have 43k on the ODO, and the engine is very much broken in.

Like those before me have said, it's a combination of the colder weather, worn tires, and stiffer RSB.
