Car understeers more now
I've noticed that when I go into turns here and there on streets the front end tends to point in a direction and skid that way..understeer basically.
When I first got the car (also stock) the GS seemed to oversteer quite a bit, the back end kicking out with a little gas on a turn.
Now that I've added the LSD and suspension stuff, the car understeers much more. Anyone else go into a turn, gas it and have the front end just slide where you don't want it to go? LOL.
I have all the basic TOMs gear, CS, and the Supra LSD.
Yoshi mentioned here that the LSD makes the car understeer quite a bit.

Any other ideas?

No way, not even close.
Your problem is that you're going into turns MUCH QUICKER than you used to.
Also, dumb question - check your tire pressures? Try the same turn with more air in the tires than you usually do. Makes a big difference in my view. I run 37psi cold all around.

Nope...
Mine goes pretty much where it's pointed!
The limits are so high on my car now that I don't really push it to the limts, but it feels pretty neutral to me. Power on oversteer is easily available with the TCS turned off, but that gets a bit risky for me. With the car much flatter in cornering-especially with the stiffer sway bars etc.- you will be more biased toward understeer IMO. Probably safer for most drivers anyway as long as it's not excessive.
