Other way round surely? Increasing roll stiffness at the rear will tend to reduce understeer, as will increasing front track width, but within the limits of what’s possible with mere nut and bolt tweaking of what’s there, then you’re really down to playing with toe settings and tyre pressures.

You are however playing with a chassis whose flexi, rubbery and deliberately deformable bits are getting on for the thick end of decade old.. They are without doubt past their best. Same goes for the shocks. Replacing all the bushings in the front AND rear* will help give you a more stable, predictable and consistent chassis to work with.

*(chassis designers tend to design in a degree of passive rear steering in rear suspensions, and worn out bushes mean it won’t work as intended.)
