Lots of information.. but I promise tire pressure will not correct this problem. I use these terms to help people out:

1. Course adjustment (adjusting the anti roll bars if adjustable, changing the camber or toe)
2. Fine adjustment (tire pressures and shock settings)

You need a course adjustment, and since you don't have an adjustable bar there are really only TWO things you can do.

Put the rear tires on the front (increases grip with larger tire contact patch and decrease rear grip with smaller contact patch)

Or disconnect the front anti roll bar

You need a course adjustment to "discover" your car. These recommendations by others are all "true" but you will drive yourself nuts trying everything you read here. Disconnect the front bar or swap the tires. Then prepare yourself for the change
