Default Shocks and Steering Rack Upgrade for RT4

Was looking for some advice on shock and steering rack upgrades for my Backdraft RT4. I've called Backdraft and they say they don't have any suggestions so I'm hoping you all do.

My issues that I'm trying to correct are as follows:

Rear squats too much when turning hard under power and then snaps back when coming off the throttle.

Steering rack is too slow, approximately 3.5 turns lock to lock

So I'm looking for a coilover that will fit the RT4 and have a little stiffer springs but more importantly be rebound adjustable as the car needs more rebound dampening so it doesn't snap back so quickly when coming off the throttle.

Looking for a steering rack or steering quickener that is 2 to 1 or something similar. I feel like the car needs this because it has a tendency to snap sideways under power and a faster steering rack will make it much easier to catch the snap oversteer. Ideally having a rack that is 2-2.5 turns lock to lock would be so much better.

Thanks
Gary
