As mentioned previously, you should check how many degrees of Caster are in the car currently.
If it's very little or Stock specs, put some Additional caster in it before you do anything else and make a pass.
21/2 degrees caster will improve high speed steering.
Then work on the other concerns you have as to how the car handles and drives.

Thanks - I have 4 1/2 degrees caster as measured from the 4 wheel alignment.

I will re-check the caster as well.

Appreciated.
