Well I was bored so I decided to adjust it again. I put it forward more. Now it's in the front of the mutlibeam. About halfway under it, halfway in front of it.

Hmm I only gained a minimal amount of oversteer from this, but my tires squeal like crazy even if I don't take turns hard. I don't think it really got any better.

Is there a point when it is too far up?

Yeah I drive the **** out of them cause I want new ones and they're not going down any, haha.

They squeal so bad, and feel real floaty when taking highspeed freeway interchanges, but still can't complain they're quiet as hell.

Have you tried adjusting your tire pressure?? I have the addco RSB, and since it is not that adjustable, I played with the tire pressures to vary the over-steer. When the tire pressures in the front and rears were the same (or 1 or 2 psi off), over steer was crazy. Now I'm running 36 psi in the fronts and 30 in the rears. That seems to balance out the car well. I get over steer and understeer at nearly the same time. Oh yeah, and that floaty feeling in the rear you get on the highway interchange is gone, too.
