Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I've seen comments elsewhere about changing rear subframe bushings, but given the amount of labour to do so, I was / am hoping to make an improvement without that amount of work.

re: "skittishness": I find the rear loses traction easily over minor bumps, eg paving repairs and cats eyes, even under modest acceleration in a straight line. I've played around with rear tyre pressures between ~32 to 40 psi and yet to find a good setting. I appreciate the RFT's may be more blame than the suspension. Either way, it does not provide as much confidence compared to my previous Golf GTI on the same size tyres (225/45 17).

If anyone in Sydney has M-sport or (even better, BMW performance) springs & dampers in good condition for sale, I am interested.
