Kit spring (yellow rear, red front), kit oil weight.
This setup is my own, never copied anyone setup.
Front end.
0 degrees castor, 0 shim on #1 inside on camber link 2mm on castor block, 0 bump steer. 20 kick up block -1 camber, 1 degrees toe out. top shock middle, bottom, outside. 18mm ish ride height... no toe changes across the travel range.
Rear, 2mm shim on #2 inside, 0/b on hub, TLR 50g weight in rear. every else is kit setup. shock middle tower, outside on bottom. shock has 2mm spacer at bottom to push the shock out to make it more vertical rather than angle. 20mm ish rear ride height.
i find the steering isnt sharp as other, it does turn in very well. but not as quick as others cars like team C, X2c, SV2 etc... i got 150% epa on my dx2s
So thought about adding weight to give it "more grip/weight" at low/high speed.

I think you need to evolve the set up to suit the configuration more...
Red front springs are too soft and come in the kit as suited more for rear motor dirt set ups aimed at US market... i would recommend Black or blue front springs to start with, will stop front collapsing and rolling too much.
27.5wt in front is light depending which pistons you run?
The rear weight will be making the car understeer in high grip conditions by creating too much rear grip and causing push on turn in... the rear weight is more suited or low grip conditions such as wet tracks or really bumpy tracks.
Have you tried 25 kick up and 5 deg blocks?
try more negative camber on rear than front which helps car pivot quicker
why uneven ride height?
what surface are you racing on?
having speedo mounted in that position with shorty lipo means you are running weight more towards rear... does speedo not fit in front?
I fitted brass 25deg shim and front alloy camber block to add a little weight, this was only only to keep nose down a little at high speeds for sweepers after straights, this probably added 20g... this was caused by using a different body which lifted front at speed
Have never had lack of steering and certainly never had to run toe out.
by all means try 20g on front, but with that set up i predict it will be worse
