Would you happen to have any vids of your car launching?
If you have the airbags in the sprngs I think they go up to 30psi. I have mine (right rear only) at 20psi.
Are your rear shocks SA or DA?
What's the track prep like on average?
Tire pressure?
Launch rpm?
I've always been told on sticky tracks you can tighen up the rear shocks. For poor track conditions you want to go softer (to lessen the hit).
But you do really need an ARB.

I am not a big fan of air bags in the rear springs at all because they are nothing more than a band aid for not having a rear anti-roll bar. A good quality rear anti-roll bar like the BMR one we make will definitely help out with the 60ft and consistency.
A good generic baseline for the shocks is a couple clicks from full soft on the front and couple clicks from full stiff in the rear. This allows the car to transfer weight and keep good downward pressure on the rear tires.
