Default unorthodox suspension setup..pleaze look

this is an ongoing problem that i could use some help with.. my butt comes around my head..serously. when entering a turn tha back end comes around.out of the hole shot it hooks up sweet. on power streering is great for a 2 wheel drive buggy. i dropped the back end down so its lower then the front, and use tire traction wich helps for a little bit.. should i lower the shock oil wieght or the shock piston.out of the 5 piston holes, im on the smallest 1(its hyper-adjust). but my front left tire comes off the ground as it is.. so if i go any lower, it will get worse. what if i put on a heavier spring? have many.. im set at 2* with my rear toe-in will a zero toe-in help.. im also running light diff oil. i think if i go heaveir it will be even worse.?. PLEASE.. any tips will help.. this is a 1:5 hpi 5b.. its all the same, just bigger
SORRY, WASNT CLEAR.. THIS IS A 5B ON-ROAD....

Try running a stiffer right front spring, what you are doing is lifting the left rear tire off of the ground when cornering, this loosens the car up. By stiffening the left front the car will not roll as much and will keep the left rear planted more threw the corner. You might even add some preload to the right front as well if needed.
