Haven't updated this in a while but things are slowly progressing. Was still haveing handleing issues so I decided it was time to make another big change. I have ditched the goodyear slicks and have gone to 225-50-16 A6s in front and 275-45-16 A6s in the rear. The tires are hugh I should never see 3rd gear again. In order to run that size of a tire up front I needed more negative camber. I should have done this anyhow and may try the slicks with this setup at some point.
I took out the trusty fender saw and cut about 1/2 away from the center hole of the shock tower towards the inside of the car. I then notched the bolt holes about 1/2" each. This combination allowed me to go from a little over .5* to around 2.5* neg in the front. I also placed the koni shocks at the #2 position. I had them full on at #3 but I hope #2 helps the car transision better.
Track day and autocross coming up this weekend will see how the changes work then.
