Lifting on high speed

I'm looking for a front spoiler (as "stealty" as possible) to stop my MY00 classic lifting on high speed.
This weekend we did a Ring-trip and on the autobahn, above 100 mph my car feels very light.
Also on the Ring self, at Swedenkreuz and Kesselchen the car get's very light.

What's the cure for it (defenitely NO P1 front lip !!!)

What suspension are you running.

I've had my MY99 RB5 (with Eibachs) flat-out and it's always felt very stable. Straight-line or with some long corners thrown in?

I have AST coilovers, and they perform very well.
I was thinking of lowering the front about 1 cm extra to get more rake...
But I don't wanna ruin the handling as it get's like a train around the Ring now...

See if you can't find something like those small corner wings (and central splitter) one gets for the bug-eye...Quite inconspicious, and makes a big difference at higher speeds...I only fitted the corner wing splitters to my MY01, and the effect was very noticable.
