IMHO you need a 22mm adjustable rear anti-roll bar from Whiteline, (or others), to kill the understeer.

As for geometry, I've lost my set-up due to raising the car by 40mm.

A search on here will find some advice.

Or as close as you can get to it, ensuring the same both sides.
If you DO go fro 1.5 degrees, be ready for some extra tyre wear

Mine was done at Carnetix, in Melton Mowbray. Excellent service, everything discussed and explained, and a nicer set of folk I've yet to meet.

They are highly recommended.

Tyre wear is mostly due to hard driving and extreme toe settings, 1.5 degrees and zero toe will not give noticabley more tyre wear.
