Any change could be considered either an " improvement" or a "screw up"
depending on what your goals were and the perception of the effects of the
change.  ......
But I would try a simple thing, reversible easily in fact ... go to " teeny
wheels and tires" up front ... this will lower the center of gravity, reduce
the caster effect , and also give your car a " so cool " raked look.  oh,
will help keep your front spoiler on the ground ( in my case, IN the ground
... ) ...  also some shifting of rearward weight toward the front, and some
uncharted changes in dynamic front roll center.  Probably you will want to
go to higher tire pressure up front, and maybe even a grade stickier tire,
if you can find that.
Just some thoughts, ken campbell, iowa guy.
