Thanks.
like what stein said, you are letting your tires load up your front end too much with a set up like that. the rear isnt rolling as much to create the traction you are looking for. if you feel it underteers with the white up front, its likely understeering at mid corner but your entry should be improved with the added response the harder spring gives. so if mid corner is the problem, then tweak somthing else like less droop in front or maybe lay the front shock down one hole. there's so much you can do to compensate for that ... roll centers, camber, etc ... the stiffer spring in the rear is just off ....

you should drop by track on a race day so you get better help from the racers.
