Yeah Sam, i pretty surprised you're not dead already tbh. 
Lol wolverine, take all that crap out the boot and you won't be on the bumpstops, which should help massively.
Dude that explanation totally made me go crossed eyed, and i'm not entirely convinced you're right... Passive rear wheel steering is just that - passive rear steering - ie not oversteer... Lowering doesn't stop or reduce weight transfer (i don't think..? Ripp?), it just stops the suspension reacting as much by reducing the travel. Really low cars suffer badly because there's not enough suspension travel to keep the contact patch up, so it takes less to unsettle the car. Higher spring rates on the rear, or softer on the front, also make it worse, as do similar changes to the arb. Another factor is that most people buy poorly specced springs and dampers on the cheap to do the lowering, which again reduces the effectiveness of the suspension as a whole.
