Just another thought... what struts/shocks do you have, and what springs? If you have lowered springs, without RCA blocks the front roll centre will be lower which should make the car oversteer more, just a shot in the dark. Also... if your rear shocks are worn/leaking, that's nasty and it may be costing you contact. As stated before, I am no suspension expert at all, these are just ideas from my own limited expereince.
I happen to like the balance of my ra65 now. I don't drive like a maniac but if take a familiar right hand turn too fast, the front slides a little and the back slides a little more. The only thing I don't like is the fact it is underdamped (monroe GTs!), and the fact the front end stays flat *to a point* then in a really sharp 90* turn seems to roll a bit more than it should. I think this is because of the lower front roll centre due to lowering the car.
I am getting RCA blocks to put the front roll centre back where it should be, so if that makes it understeer more (it should) and I don't like it maybee I can play with the stiffness of the rear shocks (got some secondhand slightly-shorter stroke Koni reds to put in the front, and will buy some rears sometime down the track)
