Randomly nose heavy?
Hey, I have the TRD springs, struts, sway bar plus Greddy strut bars front and rear and my tc will rip around some corners but will lean and push on other corners that don't even seem that tight. Anyone else experience this?

Are you using brakes before or after your transition in the corners. Does it happen in left or right hand turns? Are they long sloping or tight turns? Your weight transfer could be at issue. I am assuming that you still run the stock front swaybar. If you have a stiffer sway bar in the rear, then front end will be sloppy during the transition.
Brake bias should not be an issue with the EBDC. Worn tires could be the issue. All Season performance tires like the OEM Potenzas/Yokohamas are only "sticky" for about 10-20K miles. Even though there is plenty of thread life left on the tires, they have worn down to a harder compound so that they will last 50-70K miles. Harder compounds last longer but stick less. Your front-emd could be "walking" in the turn do to the tire slipping out of the vehicle's arc of travel. The TRD springs aren't for racing. The spring weights are more tuned for ride comfort, than taking corners. Right now, my car has muddied up a bit in the corners at high speed. The slop in the suspension for me is due to my OEM struts showing wear.

Thanks Navy. I'm guessing it's because of the TRD rear sway anf the stock front. Come to think of it, I noticed it after my rear sway install. Still sucks though...

If the TRD has an adjustment, put in a less stiffer position.

It's currently on the "street" setting which is soft, but I'm gonna try the "race" setting(firm) just for $hits and giggles.
