The solution is to run shorter springs. Now to find what the options are. This is kind of annoying. I ordered some HPI silvers but they probably won't work.
Update: My only other guess is that we built our shocks to short, they measure under 57mm end to end. Guys reference 57.5mm on 418 builds. I can unthread the rod end to make them longer and that should help. I will update later with progress.
The standard touring springs are 26mm in length. I think we need to find a shorter spring like 24mm.
Tamiya also has 2 types of short springs. There's the m chassis shorts and then the touring shorts 42168, which are taller but on the soft side
