Well my setup uses AE 35wt oil which is 425cst up front and AE 30wt which is 350wt. So theoretically this would be thicker oil for you up front, and the same in the rear.

Your AE blue front springs are 3.6lb/in whereas the Red ones I'm using are 3.9lb/in, so your softer up front there. No idea on the rears as I'm still on the kit set, and I've not seen a rating on the Yokomo springs so far.

So with thicker oil and softer springs your front end probably feels a fair bit softer and more damped.

From what you've said, my best guess would be stiffer front springs being worth a shot maybe? Would make the front end feel a bit more lively for sure...each time I've stepped the spring rate up at the front it's improved things, and it would help keep the front end up!
