Default St2 wet handling issue.

Hello😜
I'm looking for some help or good advice on my st wet handling.which to be fare is rather frightening.at low speeds on slightly wet roads,especially round abouts.my st loses grip really quickly,I can accept this at higher speeds and would be prepared.however at low speeds I've been caught out a few times.no off-road scenarios,just heart in mouth.the front end seems to loose traction/grip very easily in the wet/damp surfaces.im running on Pirelli wet tyres which I guessed would save my blushes.they don't or it's the car..please help me from kerbing my much loved st,or even worse.wold coil overs help??i love to take my car to the limit.in the dry it feeds my confidence in the wet,I'm always self aware in every turn..it's ruining my experience..help me get this problem sorted.im a confident driver if over 20 yeRs experience.

Default roads

big dry spells-then heavy rain=slippy roads,good tyres and well set damping will help,but even good tyres struggle with greasy roads and modern high power cars

Damp roads bring all the oils and fuel that's ever been spilt up to the surface. Especially roundabouts.

So I doubt it's your car.
