I agree with Bob, you have negative rake, you get that beak down to positive
rake
and it will help transfer some weight to the front.
Can you get some negative camber in the front ?
I can't tell you what to do with the springs on that car but if you can get
your hands on a set of
scales I would do that way before any skid pad testing. You can shim
the springs to dial in cornerweights.
How the car reacts when you lift ( in lie u of L-F brake) will give some clues
as well.
Any difference between left-hand cornering and right-hand ? If so it's
definetly cornerweights.
good luck .

Having more front ride height than the rear will cause understeer for sure.
Plus with a rear engine car, the front end is running light already.
So the question is, will lowering the front offset the increase in spring
rate from cutting the springs? That's going to depend on many variables, and
I would defer to Bill's reply about running on a skidpad/ tight track and
doing some real testing.
