This is my set-up. I tend to have under steer. If I change to softer tires on front, they wear out very quickly and after 4 minutes I am on the rim and back to no steering. The other problem is that the car traction rolls at high speed cornering.
Stiffen the oil in the tubes. Try going to 20,000 wt. and get the ride height down some. Also put 10,000 on the kingpins. Lowering the ride height will stop the traction rolls and the dampening will help the understeer. Also try running 35 shore tires front and rear. This is what i usually run.
