Seriously lower the car? I always heard that a lowered car killed weight transfer to the rear wheels.
well the typical lowered cars are the ones with stiff "handling" springs, which will kill weight transfer

go take a look at any of the small tire classes in NMRA or FFW. Do you see any RS, REN, outlaw guys with their cars all jacked up in the air like the typically bracket racing hillbilly? No. Why? Because their suspension is working.

do like the jester said and try a few more psi in the airbag. also, how much tire pressure are you running? Is the stock rear sway bar still there?
You can try a few other things too. Adjustable strange shocks are cheap, and can be very helpful when dialing in the suspension. Also, antisquat is something that needs to be addressed, likely with the lower control arms. Are those granatelli arms the black bent tubular ones with the adjustable spring perch? If so, then first inspect them for being busted, lol, cause I've seen many that way.
