Have you tried a rear roll bar? If not the how to' is on page three. It works a treat to be fair,also take a peek at the Ellis setup on petit as this is about as dialed as it's possible to get and works great.

Also forgot to mention the slipper adjustment as this is critical on the x6. As per the x factory website I run it looser than say a b4 and it keeps the rear end in check, also have you got the espeed rear hangers?

Probably forgotten some bits.

The inside rear wheel is lifting mid to exiting the corner then it over heats the diff and spins out and that is working it slow out of the corners

Indoors on carpet 2/2 will be better for the rear shock positions but even on 1/1 I don't understand how the inside rear wheel is lifting on corner exit?

How have you got the ride height front and rear?

If you have the long rear axles then take out the limiters in the rear shocks - more droop (if you have any in of course).

Now then new or old tyres ???? Sounds like very aggressive
Driving with lots of oversteer !!
I don't run a rear antiroll bar,If if I was you I would
Give the car a full strip and rebuild and a new set of tyres
Making sure every thing is silky smooth .
