You have drag bags right? Maybe try a softer front spring/strut combo or run air shocks in the rear with the bags to stiffen it up even more.

Limiting straps and softer springs and struts for the front...

I don't recall saying you need a "sloppy shock and spring setup". I said you need a softer strut and spring combo.

If you have a high spring rate in the front it will help to lift the front of the car under acceleration.
