You never should have been off the throttle.
no throttle in a turn = oversteer
In general, once you get off the brake, you need to be feeding controlled throttle through the turn. At about the apex you should be reaching full throttle.

Bingo!
Yes Chuck, the oversteer was primarily a technique issue. Actually, last sunday was the first time where I've really pushed the car to its limits at a higher speed in a controlled course. On the road, I'm always on the throttle in turns. Here, I was trying to get the rear out around corners. You know, experience what everyone says, "the old 911s are a tail happy car" Yada yada yada. Brake, turn in, then throttle got the rear loose. (Not the fastest way around the track I know). I was fairly happy to be able to control all but one turn. Next time I will feed throttle sooner. Tire pressures are set equal between front and rear.
Anyway, I have a through body front bar and see there are some turnbuckle style drop links I could use to adjust the front.
What type of bars would you recommend for the rear?
