Power-on understeer is a normal phenomenon. Despite Fast & Furious "physics"... Get on the gas, load up the rears and unload the fronts, the car is going to push. Up to a point anyway, but given 2.0 liters of n.a. fury, for us power-on OVERsteer isn't so much an issue usually...
Proper driving technique is to trail-brake on corner entry, maximum steering input near apex, on the gas at exit while unwinding steering with enough turning already done that you don't have to get OFF the gas to point the car.
That said, your toe numbers look fine (assuming millimeters!), but you could run less. Could run zero toe all around and that would generally reduce understeer a bit, particularly knocking the rear toe down from 2.4mm. Which isn't excessive but from zero to half that is the range I like to be in for rear toe, with zero front toe.
You could run a lot more front camber (assuming coilovers have camber adjustment). Street-only and desiring less understeer I'd try at least -2 degrees front camber, could run more than that and still be streetable, up to, say, -3 degrees.
AS for damping adjustments, go by manufacturer recommendations, but usually you adjust from full *stiff*, not full soft. I.e., the reference point is to screw the adjustment needle all the way in (clockwise), and then count clicks out from that point. Usually the steps between the first clicks out result in bigger changes in damping, towards the soft end you get to a point where more clicks out doesn't do much.
But again, technique is possibly a reason for what you're experiencing. If you're in a corner in anything higher than first gear and just smash the throttle, you're gonna get understeer in general, unless in low-grip conditions.
