Have tried changes in the following order:
- harder front springs 19pound (17 on rear)
- lengthen rear camber links
- lay rear shocks down one position from kit.
- Introduced kick up at front (turned front couplers over)
- Higher roll centre on the front using couplers ('dots' up all front couplers)
- Thought I may have had to much 'all round grip' so changed to hardest
springs (front 24 & rear 22).

I have no sway bars, ride hieght 5.5 all round, used xenon 36 tyres (hot day).

I seemed to gain some improvement from increasing front roll centre change, however overall problem still there

.

With all set up changes, the oversteer problem became worse after a few minutes into the run.

Would appreciate any advice you may have guys.

Cheers

If it gets worse during the run, your tyres may be overheating. Im not terribly familiar with the Xenon tyres, but would suggest you try a Sorex or Much More tyre to compare. If its still doing it, at least you know it isnt tyres.

To get a bit more rear grip you could also try more rear toe in.

What hole position on the rear hub are you using?
