Be careful making too many changes at once. You won't know what change did what.

The container goes with all my other RC bits and the vibration over time loosens all the grime etc which gathers in the bottom of the container. I take them out then oil them and swap them over with the set from the car.
Car brake cleaner is good at degreasing and blasting out bearings, it also tends to be cheaper than anything specifically for RC.

I was using the standard setup included, with the slight change of a thicker Front sway bar (black) and blue springs in the front and the front carpet tower (third hole from outside). No bars under the diffs.
Riser + 1 in front
Riser + 1,5 in the back.
Apart from that the car felt very responsive, great turning in.
But whatever I did I still could not stop the car from breaking out in the fast chicane. Anyone of any help?
Thanks in advance

Everyone always suggests that I run it longer, but whenever I do I get oversteer.

I run it standard, as in the manual.
As I have seen from others - regarding the rear - they all run it the same way - without obviously having any problems.

It's adjustable for a reason, try changing it.
