May be worth having somebody familiar with twins inspect the suspension, also a more experienced twin driver take a few laps with your car on track, if that's an option. To each their own but I wouldn't touch aero before upgrading dampers, and perhaps some bushings if you want a more track focused car.
Been asking in some other local forums and the answers are similar to yours. My fastests laps were indeed those were there was no sliding at all, just clean turns with very little slip and tire noise. It does the same on right and left and the car was inspected a few weeks prior to the event by a local shop that specialises on race and rally cars and everything was perfect. I guess its just the built-in oversteer and the maxxis which dont really like oversteer playing agaisnt me. I will try nittos towads the end of the season and see if those play better with my setup. In the meantime I think I will add a touch of toe-in in the back.

Thanks everyone for the input, seems like aero is not really the solution yet.
