I'm running a 3100# car with camaro clip and 3 link rear. Spring rates are lf 600 rf 650 lr 250 rr 200. With 52% rear weight 55% left. The car is very tight on entry on a wet tacky track. I can sling the car in but lose momentum in the middle. Car is fast during the feature but qualifies towards the back. I'm wondering if the front springs are too soft for a wet surface?

Adjust brake bias to the rear. I am no expert on 3 link, so I will not advise on that haha, but I bet someone will post with the bar adjustment to make a 3 link looser on entry, brake bias is the easy way out, but it won't cure all your woes.

Try a 2" offset RR wheel. Pushing the RR out on a wet track makes it looser. As tuckin the RR in in the feature. Add a bit more stagger for the wet track heats. Grind the pads on the RF caliper. In a trapezoid shape taper the pads from where the hole is in the caliper, to the ends of pad. Will look stock, but also act like three wheel brakes.
