Current settings are 6mm ride height front and rear, 2 degree camber all round, 3 degree toe in at rear and 1 degree toe out front. Downstops at 6 front and 5 rear on Hudy tool.

I will definitely start by rebuilding the shocks with 0 rebound as a start and maybe buy the rear 2 degree axle block .
6mm is kind of high. Is the track u race on bumpy? If not lower the car and I'll have more overall grip. Also no need to buy new blocks... just flip them in the rear.

also 1 degree toe out in the front is a lot imo. I usually run heads up or maybe a tiny bit out. Going to heads up will also make it turn more initially when off power which is what u said u needed. So maybe take a little front toe out too. I'm not too sure about the ddown stop gauge because I measure my droop differently but still a little more rear droop will help as well.

Thanks
