It's getting to a point where I can't attack even sweepers 100% My lap times are horrific, at 1'23'343 on DF!

I am using Sports Soft tires, all upgrades have been purchased, HP is at 330+. I tuned the suspension a little but nothing happened much.
 
What exact car, what track, what settings?

Knowing these will make helping you out easier. But as a quick tip, try increasing the front camber a bit and/or soften the front stabilizer. :)
 
It seems that your camber settings are totally off, put the front to at least 2.0 and the rear to 0.5 or higher. You could also stiffen the rear stabilizer a bit, to 5 or 6 depending on your preferences. If these don't help, try softening the rear springs a little but it's not necessarily needed.

The only big change you've made seems to be the camber and it's the one that has destroyed the handling of your car. When you enter a fast corner with 0.0 front camber, the tyre contact patch gets so small that there is very little grip available. Sports soft tyres are so grippy that at least 2.0, maybe even up to 3.0 can be used.

Try it out and tell if it helps. :)

Oh, and sorry about asking the track, I saw the DF but I thought you meant the Driving Force wheel.

I use a DFP. And thanks a lot.
 
I would´ve used a softer suspension setup for that track, espially if yo run that high a rideheight.
Something like this:
Springs: 10.0/9.8
Rideheight: 90/95
Bounce: 3/3
Rebound: 5/5
Toe: 1/-2
Camber: 2.5/1.8
stabilisers: 4/4
And also LSD to this: 15/50/30 and set brakes to 5/6
Try it and see what you think.
