5 limiters in the front shock
the max you should be running is three try that[/QUOTE]

Ok, Time out... You have strayed way too far off the path. Time for the setup reality check (I have to usually do this about once a month LOL)
This goes for everyone. If your car is just not right and you can't seem to get it there, you need to tear it down and rebuild it and look for any parts that are overly worn or broken. After you have replaced them, rebuild the car with one of these two setups, and nothing else. There simply is no reason to stray far from these unless you race on the most extreme conditions (and if that's the case, the car probably will never feel right).
If your car has the std chassis, put on Ryan Maifeild's 2011 Reedy Race setup. Follow every part. Don' skip or deviate from it. It can be found here:

If your car has the +8mm chassis, put on Ryan Cavaleri's Finnland setup. Again.... do it exactly, don't fudge it. It can be found here:
http://teamassociated.com/pdf/cars_a...eri_Worlds.pdf (you can run AE Browns for fronts since the KY springs are hard to find...and those were Std KY springs not BB).
Ok so after your car is back to "normal", make your tweaks and setup changes, one at a time, and note what it does. You shouldn't vary too far from the original though. They are well thought out and have been tested thoroughly.
Not trying to preach, but when I see guys asking if they are running too many limiters and they are hitting 5, that makes me just feel like someones running their fingernails down a chalk board.
So that is my "reality check" for you guys
. I know I always end up greatful after someone gives me mine

When I first got my car I used a cavalieri setup, didnt care for it. I originated with the Paul Wynn setup, and the car worked awesome at my track, as layouts have changed I have made changes. 5 limiters in the front shock is what the Paul Wynn setup called for. The car handles pretty good, I just wanted to pick up a tad bit more exit steering
