Tamiya mini cooper

Puuuuuush...
I raced my Mini for the first time last night. Nobody runs anything Tamiya around here, so I raced threw down with the touring cars. The car has plenty of speed, but seems to have trouble carrying corner speed, and has a low speed push that's hard to deal with. Any ideas? Here's my setup;
Front- blue springs, 40 weight, 1 hole piston, shock length 59mm
Rear- yellow springs, 40 weight, 2 hole piston, shock length 59mm
I'm running HPI belted X-Patterns with molded inserts, toe-in carriers on the rear, Eagle high speed gearing set and TA03 ball diff (set pretty tight)
I tried a ROAR stock motor, but it was a little too much for the car. Can I dial out the push, or is this the way M03's handle?
Thanks.

lighter rear shock oil maybe just to tame down the rear a little. depends on the surface your running at. the local tcs series champ recommended it to me and let me try driving his ride, it was much easier to drive than mine (parking lot track, unprep'd surface).

To achieve this I used a 24mm insert cut and taped to fit the diameter of the mini wheels
