It was checked out at Europen performance specialist here in town. He wants me to drop the nose a inch and the sachs struts are 7 or 8 years old and are worn out. The rear are Koni yellows and 10+ years old also worn out. I also think that the mismatch is not doing any me any good. What I can tell from the receipts 70k on the Koni's 50k on the Sachs. So it's time.

I run the 200# 1.5 inch lower weltmeister springs and have lowered the rear to basically match. It is quite low and with the splitter I installed I have to be super careful with driveways and speed bumps and even then the splitter hits sometimes. I do love the way it looks and drives.
Whatever you do get a good alignment when you are done. Good chance that is allot of your current problem especially if the PO played with the ride height etc without getting it aligned after.

So before you go a change the shocks answer this.. Do you get bounce when cornering? Is there an odd front to rear rocking and porposing when you hit bump mid corner? Does the car tend "crash" over bumps or feel floaty. These are signs of worn shocks. You can have oversteer will worn or new shocks.
Again I will say it again. You are throwing parts and money at the problem and not addressing the issues. You could get lucky and have this solve your issues, but it could make it worse.

I agree, but since I don't know what your alignment settings are and don't really know where the oversteer occurs I have no idea how to solve this.
