You can always make the shock longer to get more droop. More camber. More toe out....

Don't know how this compares to the ETS stuff.
You could also try to remove the 3 shims in the middle posts under the graphite plate that adjusts caster. That will give you a little more reactive steering as well.

I like all these ideas too.

Wondering why you only sauce 1/2 fronts if no steering?

Also, for me, stiffer side springs or more preload as mentioned above will get that front wheel down and should get you to the point where the rear wheel will lift, then go between so both wheels stay down. Or the car flips
Then sauce less of the front tires again.
