The questions circling me now are if i can keep the front semi soft but suppliment it with a strut brace to prevent body flex/roll or should i focus on leaving them stiff and adjusting camber/toe or are any of these adjustments only going to make a minor difference with my current setup?

again, thanks for any guidance.
Damping does not determine under or oversteer. That is determined by your spring/sway balance. Damping affects how quickly your wheels are allowed to move by the suspension. Underdamping causes sub-par response, while overdamping causes wheel hop.

I highly suggest you read the penske manual I linked, under the tuning section.
