I've actually tried going into the corner about 5-8mph slower. It was fine for the initial turnin but once I started applying a bit of throttle after the apex the car started to understeer again. The only way I could reduce prevent it was to get off the gas completely to transfer weight to the front and/or unwinding the wheel.

I've had a national level driver try out my car but that was before the new shocks and camber so I'll need to ask him to drive my car again and see. At that time he told me the car has a tendency to understeer in mid corners and that I would probably benefit from a larger front sway bars.

but at the same time i'm going to try the slow (er) in fast out approach again and slow the entry speed even more.
IN most cases we all do drive the car 11/10ths instead of 9/10ths 10/10ths.
