I'd soften the front dampers slightly in their bump-stroke. This makes it much easier to transfer weight onto the front wheels without making the outside front break lateral-traction. Stiffening the Rear dampers in rebound and/or bump can have a big effect on the amount of turn-in oversteer you can extract from the chassis, but BE WARNED!: If the car's skittish or toey to begin with, bad situations quickly become worse with a car which oversteers under braking. The rear anti-roll bar is tied into the lift-off oversteer equation aswell.

It all comes down to the driver, if you are going in too hot, you are going in too hot. If your car is understeering on turn-in then regaining posture later on through the corner, then quicker front shocks would help - but if you're car is squatting down and just going off the road, then you need to look at spring rates and suspension height.

Stiffening rear shocks on rebound is something of a pain in the arse especially if you trail brake like a bastard Smile
