Without trying to sound patronising no amount of setup will outperform a very smooth throttle thumb in low grip. You do not want to be applying a lot of throttle until the car is perfectly straight and you can drive towards the next apex without the need to steer again. Wet driving imo is a little more point to point than in high grip. In order to limit the initial punch of the car, reduce the chance of wheel spinning and exiting smoother a simple yet very effective way is to reduce the throttle curve on your radio to around -40%. This will limit the initial punch out of the corner and at the same time keep the front tyres from lifting on throttle reducing on power push. I actually use minus throttle curve even in high grip to make the power delivery smoother.

Running the 25deg kick up on the front will give a little more front weight bias but will reduce rear grip a little on power. I would go back to the standard link length in low grip with 2mm under the rear inner ballstud for more forward drive. Shortening the wheelbase will put more weight over the rear axle for more traction also and standing the rear shock up on the innermost hole on the rear wishbone is a must.

Your springs do sound a bit hard, I'd go for red up front and green rear with 32.5/27.5 oils and standard pistons.
