In a way, you're right. Stiff rear spring rates and shocks can cause a rear-end to be kinda jumpy and squirm in corners, but that's usually with rear-wheel drive cars. My Sportlines are stiff in the back and I've never felt more secure in my SER. The oversteer on demand by throttle-lift in hard cornering is a blast.
