Overall, I think you've made too many changes at one time. I'd at least go back to the stock front bar and put the camber back in the rear or put it halfway to -2.
You like the camber that close on a car that gains a lot of camber in the rear and essentially none up front during compression? That'll shift the grip balance to the rear under load as the rear picks up more grip. Ideally you want the grip balance about equal under load, which means unequal static camber.

I guess it feels safer having a car start to push as it builds cornering forces, but it's harder to control and definitely slower IMO.
