More lower roll center, soft spring? I don't know.
Sounds like you're nearly there now it's got a proper body on it. The things that still look unusual on your setup and warrant changing are:

Go to shorter rear camber link (outer hole on bulkhead). That's the setup used 99% of the time and should give more high-speed steering.

Go to outer hole on front steering arms (for the steering tie-rod). That's the setup used 100% of the time.

If you still need HS steering, you can try:
- Lay the shocks down a couple of holes all round. This will make it more aggressive at speed.
- Make the rear track width wider, and/or the front narrower.
- Mount the body or wing further forwards.
