Strange, when you lower the car you automatically get more negative camber. In the front that should give you better turn in. You can get a front camber kit to add more negative camber in front...closer to -2.0.

I wouldn't remove the front strut tower bar. Reducing structural rigidity is not the answer.

I think the problem is strictly do to the tire size ratio between front and rear. there's just too much in the rear, which makes the front push. I'll probably just get a camber kit I guess.

The 2 inch wheel width stagger is doing you in.

Increase front camber to -2.0 degrees using a camber kit. You'll go through tires a little faster if you do a lot of highway but it won't be that bad. Sway bars would probably only make it worse as pretty much all the aftermarket kits increase the front bar stiffness more than the rear. You could also try widening the front track by adding front spacers or narrowing the rear track by removing spacers if you used any there.
