Whitelines solution for this is to use a large sway bar in front, but less stiff springs. On whiteline springs the back is actually slightly stiffer than the front. This improves the turn in response, but keeps the rear end in durring and exiting a turn.
I don't have a whiteline setup but I'm trying to do something similar, but stiffer. I sold the 8kg/mm front springs on my TEIN HE's and want to replace them with 6kg/mm or similar springs. Then I will get a 30mm or bigger front sway.

duffman thank you for this info.
you're the first person to ever explain this stuff. i knew there was something quirky about s13's in general.
i've been posting about this problem on the forums for god knows how long, and ppl just keep saying "learn how to drive"
well fuck everyone. i've driven a bunch of different cars and no other cars do this. thanks again dude. i got an extra pair of ground control springs laying around somewhere. i'll replace the front 6.7K with 4.5K and set my front sway bar stiffer. If this solves my problem i swear i will be your best friend. thanks again.
