DSC's not the issue here. If there's a dramatic difference in age and use between the front and rear wheels, there can be a significant enough difference in grip for DSC to start complaining.
The thing is, if I turn off DSC and DTC the car handles just fine. With it on, it understeers pretty bad at speeds north of 50 on gentle curves (scared the crap out of me the first time that happened). South of 50 I can toss it around even with the DSC on and it won't kick in.
