Putting on a 28mm, ever better a 30mm, rear torsion bar will be a quick and cheap improvement. A bigger rear T-bar will noticeably lesson, if not eliminate, the understeer and you'll hardly notice the difference in ride quality. Changes to T-bar size in the front has a more dramatic affect on ride harshness, not so much in the rear.

Get rid of the push and you'll be faster. Loose is fast if you can handle it. Remember what Stirling Moss said; "The steering wheel is only used to present the car to the corner, the rest is done with the feet"
