I vote with Kyle on tire size.
Smaller fronts will give oversteer.
You are about neutral with the sway bars,very good.
Two sizes smaller fronts on a 140 will steer downright twitchy.
And the front end will tend to 'wash out' when turning hard.
205-60-15/at 24.68 inches is good for street,a little small,
good acceleration and cornering.
195-65-15/at 24.98 inches is a good all around size.
A tiny bit smaller than 165-15/at 25.39 inches,
the size that these chassis were designed around.
Tracking;
Wrap some tape on the links so you can make some
indexing marks and try a little more toe in.
