any help is much appreciated
With it being that warm on the track you may want to think about thicker oil up front. Silicon oil viscosity drops almost in half at 130-140 deg F. You car may be OK at the start of the race but half way thru the oil is thinning which will increase over-steer. Here's a good article to read,

You want to lower your roll-center not raise it. Try Medium hing pin blocks front and rear with notch up in front and notch down in the rear of the car. Top camber link slightly angled down to center of car in front compared to lower a-arm. Down slightly to parallel in rear compared to lower a-arm.

Try running 344 springs up-front and 306 in the rear.

Look at some of the setups on Hanulec's Wiki page.
