2 things I see...

It looks like you need to adjust the rear toe-in a bit. When the rear squats, the rear tires toe-out, reducing the contact patch. Ideally, you want the tire straight up and down when the rear is under load. In the first video, the tires look like they are toe'd-out too far after the hit.

It also looks like you are basketballing the rear tires a bit too. I'd keep the softer springs in it and adjust the hit with rear shocks and clutch settings. That will help get rid of the basketball effect.

Hope this helps.
