Or would you not set up your buggy to prevent that ?
Chassis slap comes from jumping high, and overshooting the landing. In order to totally prevent chassis slap when overshooting a jump, you would need to comletely stiffen the spings and oil in the car (rear mostly), which would make the car handle like poop everywhere else on the track. One small change you can make is go from a #2 piston in the rear, to a #3, and drop the oil wight by 2.5. That will add a little bit of pack in the rear, which will help. But, if you are WAY overshooting the landing on a super large jump, it wont necessarily keep the back end from bouncing up and spinning out on you. The key, is to practice your trigger control so you land on the downside properly.

They are more progressive, and they don't rub the shock bodies like the AE springs do. At your level, I wouldn't worry about it.
