I run a CRC Mohawk body.
You're very close to my go to set-up. The first thing I would try is to drop to 5k or 10k on the kingpins. In mod the increased speed requires the front-end to react much more quickly than it does in 13.5 or stock. That's possibly why the Magenta fronts are so inconsistent. When the front end lays over in the corner, the 30k may not let it center up quickly enough, making the car "plow" through the apex, rather than rotate cleanly.
