Well, the dodgy suspension I was bitching about introduced me to the tirewall at hogpen last weekend. I bumped up the fronts to 2 full turns and dropped the back down to 1 turn and the car settled down quite a bit. I also dropped the tire pressure down to 34f/36r hot on the Hankooks.
Outside of the fender that I have to bang out, I also had 5th gear popping out on me. I'm still waiting for my LSD to arrive from JDM land so as a last act of pure desperation, I changed the gear oil from Amsoil 75-90 to Redline 75-90NS. To my utter amazement, 5th gear stopped popping out. I don't think it's really possible for a fluid to make this big a difference so I'm chalking it up to blind luck and 5th will pop out through the uphill esses which will inevitably lead to my death in about a month.
