Im willing to guess its probably tire pressure or the front and rear stiffness settings aren't properly set for a neutral feeling.
Always start small before you go adjusting large things, things are that's the exact root of the problem.
What are your normal hot tire pressures on the track?

Is this for autox or track? Sounds like track, but you didn't mention it.
Don't put a ton of stock into your shock 'clicks'. Chances are they are not linear, so 4 clicks might do a lot, or it might do nothing at all. Or it might even make them stiffer when it says it's going softer. Unless you've had them on a dyno and tested them through their entire range, you really don't know how well their adjustments work.
I'd start with more static camber up front for sure, and you can even try reducing your rear toe-in to help it rotate, but make one change at a time until you're happy.
You didn't mention changing tire size as an option, but when that time comes, consider wider fronts.

I say -2.0 degree camber up front and loose a couple clicks in the rear, just what I would try personally.

Sorry, missed your dampening settings, looks like you already have it set a couple clicks softer than front. Is there a recommended track setting for this damper? Its always easier to start there.
Are you running stock sways?
You do have a lot less tire up front, more of a stagger than stock for an AP1, but you may be able to tune it out. 225's up front would have been nice.
My AP1 handled really well with 32psi hot tire pressure on RE01R's
