There should be no darting and the steering should be smooth. The car should corner equally well going to the left and to the right. If you find the car corners better one way or the other, that's a tip-off that your corner weights are not set properly. Adjusting your corner weights is easy, it just takes a little patience. The only tools you need are a socket wrench to loosen up your sway bars and a set of spanner wrenches to adjust your coil overs. I think there's even a couple of YouTube videos on it. It's absolutely, positively the second step in getting your car set up (the first step is to adjust your ride height and make sure your wheels are aligned).
