Doubt it.  If they are properly inflated, look elsewhere for a cause.

>2) is this a suspension issue (I haven't modified mine)?

Doubt it.  I've done extreme cornering on the stock setup.  I do have mine 
modified now, mostly due to the front-end dive under heavy braking and lack 
of feedback.

>3) is this a body position / technique issue (I don't know anything about

19 times out of 20, this is the reason.  Got $350 or so?  Get yourself into 
Keith Code's class and level one will transform you.

My guess for your front end slide is that you are braking hard (or chopping 
the throttle), loading up the front, and failing to get on the gas at the 
moment you turn in, followed by a gentle rolling on of said throttle through 
the turn.

>5) am I just an idiot?

Nah... we've already got a Cameron here.
