This could be equipment related and also maybe how you have your
brake pedal setup in the control section. I have standard G27
pedals, but generally run anywhere between 53-47 to 49-51 brake
balance (I think I am at 51 on Imola, but also this varies
depending on how much rubber has been laid down). I also have
the sensitivity turn down, so the initial breaking is softer and
gradually ramping up.
The rear wing and coast diff can help braking stability, but my
driving style I rarely stamp on the brake and like to be able to
use them to help with turning the car.

You want to run the brake bias as far to the rear as you can. Go
too far and you will get bad results in a hurry. What I do to
run more rear bias once I have a decent setup under me is mess
with power/coast/preload, and engine braking power. For engine
braking the settings are 0-4. 0 gives you the most engine
braking power, which will loosen you under braking/turn in. 4
gives you the least engine braking power. I usually run mine
between 3-4.
Power, coast and preload. Power comes into play when on
throttle, so I won't discuss it here. Coast comes into play
while off throttle. Higher coast values make the car
tighter/under steer, lower coast values makes the car
looser/over steer.
Preload setting controls the response time of the power and
coast settings. The higher the number the faster the response,
the lower the number the slower the response. I have found that
higher numbers tend to help tighten the car up.
My current power/coast/preload setting for Imola on the Corvette
are 45/35/9. My brake bias is at 53/47. I have buttons mapped to
change this during the race. Sometimes I find that the rear end
gets a little too squirrelly when the car gets light on fuel.
When this happens I bump the bias up more to the front.

So the Brake bias is Front:Rear? I actually thought the layout
was Rear:Front I generally left the brakes near 50:50 cause I
wasn't sure. Silly me. This is why I suck at setups.
Unfortunately this revelation will slip from my memory within 5
minutes of closing this web page. I have a memory like Cheese
Cloth.

I the first number is under 50 then you are more rear bias. I
don't think it's wise to go under 50. I have 54.

First number is front, second number is rear. You always want
the front more than the rear. On your every day street car i
think they are set default at 60/40.

What's a common power/coast value for GTs? I am so used to low
grip, powerful open-wheelers with 10% power and 15-25% coast, in
GTs I often lower them by a lot.

It varies and depends on the person driving.

Near as I can tell they are both generally lower than 50 usually
around 20-40.

We're all learning apparently. :D
My diff settings are 60% power and 55% coast (for Imola). Last
week I only used 35% on coast.
As I see here, that is probably too high.
I increased the number on engine braking to 2 (from 0) and it
felt better on Imola.
