suspension recommendation: riding on rear bump-stops

I run in the advanced solo class at Robeling Road raceway, and a recent video revealed that in the long steady-state right-hand sweepers, my rear end was compressed so much, I am riding on my rear bump stumps.

This seems to explain why I feel some understeering in these turns.

I am running the stock springs, Koni "yellow" sport shocks, Tri-Point adjustable front swawbar, and 265/40R16 R-compound Kumho tires. The car weighs about 2830-lbs. wet or 3040-lbs. with me in it. I dial-down the Koni's and put on the stock wheels/tires for weekend driving.

I think the most economical solution would be to install the Ground Control coil-over conversion, but I have no idea what spring-rates to get for the front & rear.
Is this even a good thing to do ?

If not, what suspension kit (shocks & springs) would you recommend ?

TIA,
:-) neil
