Bugatti Veyron, the best car in the world.

When I first got my mini-z I put the smallest spring limiter on the front suspension, I thought it would be best because it would be more travel. When I got the alloy front knuckles the springs seemed kind of compressed at normal with the limiter. So I tried the spring all by itself on the knuckle and the spring had no compression at normal. Which I thought was natural. but now I learned it does not really need that much travel.(because of rear dps damper) I'm also starting to think that it wasn't so much my soft suspension that helped me to tip over it was that I was getting too much travel on the front suspension.
What spring limiter does everyone else run? Is the alloy knuckle supposed to have a limiter or not? Is it true that the spring limiter would help me to not tip over? And last, would the extra compression hurt the spring when just sitting around? This is all so confusing. I would appreciate it if you could help me, Thanks.
