Softening the rear shocks would help with the oversteer.

Generally speaking, the only time you need to run shocks at full stiff is to band-aid another fundamental problem. With your spring rates, the car should have very good balance. You only need enough damping to keep the springs from oscillating. Try running them at about 50% all around, and then stiffen the front as needed to reduce the oversteer.

If that doesn't get you there, look at rear camber.
