The misconception with ride height is people think it's what looks good. Ride height should be engineered for a specific roll centre and centre of gravity on the car and should have the lower suspension arms level with the ground. From your description you simply need more caster. Recommended settings for a car like this would be about 4 deg. I would get it into a good alignment shop that does race cars and have the MII specs handy and have the alignment guy explain to you after he's worked his magic how it started out and what he's done to correct it. With the fat back tires trying to push in the direction they're pointing these cars are nothing short of dangerous if they're not carefully aligned and predictable in their response. That's before you try and slow it down with weight transfer, anti dive etc. Now it's almost time to look at bump steer and try and go round a corner.
