No changes I tried in the rear helped (side springs, damper lube).
This is an inline battery 13.5T car.
Make the center shock more inclined or go to a stiffer center spring. Alternately, take caster out. More caster will help the car finish the corner, but the 'centering' effect is also stronger, which will make the car feel like it has initial understeer on power.
Softer front springs will also make the car feel a little lazier and it won't have as much 'cut' at high speeds.
Raising the front of the car (ride height) might also help you get the feel you are looking for.
