If it is worse go in the opposite direction. You can also try a shorter front upper link going to the middle hole which also slightly angles the link. I've had great results doing that.

The stock springs are not the best on asphalt. I prefer HPI blue or silver all round depending on the traction level. I don't like the cars balance if we go different spring front to rear.

A little more front droop can help as well. I wouldn't bother with roll bars and stick with the 1.4mm bar front and rear. That pretty much works everywhere.
I use the HPI silvers around, I forgot to mention. That sounds like good changes, I will give those a try. Thanks!
