If I can answer on his behalf, you open up the shocks and put the spacers on the shaft under the piston, this will limit the downtravel. AE sell packs of 30thou spacers for that purpose.

Personally speaing, from looking at your setup I wonder whether you are running the car too low. The geometry is designed around a certain ride height (more like 23/24mm), and by dropping it down low you are making the roll centre quite a bit lower which increases the likelihood of grip roll, you are also more likely to bottom the suspension out, which will cause a sudden roll.

You already know about trimming spikes, so aside from that I would suggest decreasing your steering lock a little, and just advise you to try and be as gentle in your steering movements as you can be. Try and keep the car running straight unless you absolutely have to be steering, use the brakes to slow the car down rather than scrubbing the speed off with steering input.
