I didn't see this. I'm on 275/35R18 square, so that should help. -2.5 front camber, also.

But another thing I'm thinking is that this is a natural consequence of EDC. I don't know too much about the tech, but I think it only varies the damper rate. That means that in sport mode, it gives you a high damper rate & low spring rate. I'm thinking the high damper rate is responsible for the initial turn in. The reason for the mid-corner instability is probably that the damper is further compressing throughout most of the turn. Since you're not running as much camber, this probably gives you a smaller lateral contact patch, which means hotter localized tire temps, which could cause the grip to drop off. I'm no expert. Just speculating.

Try running more camber and/or better controlling body roll.
