As for the oversteer, a lot of times I find that if I'm creating too much front grip (tires), it will cause the car to want to loop around and be difficult to provide power. Essentially the car is being pulled around by the front tires, which on a RWD car is no bueno. Try either a harder compound up front, or add a little negative camber first. If it still persists, then maybe try a stiffer oil/ spring combo. I'm starting with 500 up front on mine, but have yet to test.
So, stiffer springs in the front than the back (?) And what oil do you use in the diff?
