The back of my STi feels wobbly when entering those circular freeway entrances fast. It feels like the back is going to slip out when I travel at around 50mph. This feeling goes away when I set the DCCD to the second green from the bottom. Does anyone else get that wobbly feeling? Are there any mods that can fix that?

Whiteline steering rack bushings factored in a great deal to stabilize some "wobbliness" straigh-line or otherwise. and only 30$ too.

Check your tire presssures first. I am chasing down a similar problem which has been present for some time, regardless of changes like the Whileline steering rack bushings, Espelir GT springs and soon-to-come alignment. Honestly, I think the problem is in the tires for me....might be for you.

Obviously you have power on, otherwise the DCCD wouldn't affect anything - so how much throttle are you throwing at it? When you say "wobbly" - what do you mean? Loose (does it actually slide?), mushy, what? And, how hard is the corner - is it rated for 15 mph, 30, or??

A 30 mph on-ramp taken at 50 should give you ZERO problems, just g-force. You should start with slight understeer giving way to slight oversteer if you keep the throttle buried, but it'll pull you through very, very nicely.

Addendum - I just thought of something. Are you by any chance having to grab another gear in the middle of this particular corner? A gear shift, or even a slight throttle lift, can and will induce some wicked oversteer unti you re-bury the throttle. These things act a lot like old Porsches in this regard. Just a thought.
