With the shock body vertical and the shock shaft fully extended, make sure there is a slight bulge of shock fluid higher than the edge of the top of the shock body (add no oil to the caps). Install the cap sans bleeder screw. Install the shock rod end, and the lower spring cup (no spring). Push the shock shaft into the shock body slowly, until the spring perch bottoms out on the shock body. Wipe away bled oil. Install the bleeder screw. Pull the shock shaft down. Install the spring. Install the shocks. Set ride height (and all the usual stuff) and see if that helps any.
this is how i was taught to fill shocks/bleed them, and that when you re-extend the shock shaft, it should retract slightly? maybe this a dumb question but you said "try it this way" what other ways are there?

You could try to decrease the rear roll stiffness or increase the front as well to more firmly plant the outside front tire on the track.
not chime in on your input to the other guy, but my car pushes a tad bit mid-corner to exit. so if i went to 25* caster blocks i should pick up more exit steering, what are the adverse effects? I already run 5 limiters in the front shocks, too many? or add more
