I think you're right on. I had this issue with my ET Streets at 14 pounds, crunching the sidewall and unloading, and those were 28x12.50 (10.50) with QA1 12 ways on 7. Stick cars need a DA on the rear to control that hit. AC... even when you go auto i'd stick a stiffwall slick on there, or if you want the QTPs throw a tube in there.

Ac here is some info. When the car has the first hit (you letting the clutch out) you want the tire to take the shock. Not the shock. Thats why with a well setup car off the line you will see the tire and rear and the body push away alittle bit. I know your m6 But watch this vid Of chris right at 2.15 sec to 2.16 you can see what i am talking about.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYq4bOPDoaU
But alot comes into play. How the car sit's TQ arm angle LCA angle's and so on. Best way to get the car to hook Is find the live center of the car. Soon i will be doing this to my car. And scaling it.
And Steve Madman Whats the best way to go about and setting up the live center of a m6 Car??? I am new to this but I am learning.

Ok I must be crazy but it does say comp on the alum ****, maybe I didnt know or got confuzed which **** does what. Anyways it was set 6 clicks to the right on comp and 2 on the plastic **** I set it at 9 comp and 0 rebound. Hope that helps with the bottoming in the front wheel well.

You can use the springs you want. Just throw in a set of air bags and you can adjust your ride height and stiffness at the track with just the bags. $100-easy :wink:
With a drag bar just be sure to run 2 separate fill lines so they don't share air.
It's a good alternative I think to guessing on a rear spring rate/height. I use them in my car. 1.29 60's
