LOTS of rear traction and super stable all over especially off the corner..
a stiffer rear spring is going to exacerbate the looseness you are experiencing. try less pre-load on the rear and a softer spring, that will enable you to move the shocks inward on the tower.

if you prefer a lot of rear traction, try a long rear camber link as well.

Same Thing happened to my X6 M-Spec also, tightened it up then loctited and no more problems for a little while.Anyone who owns a X6 or X6T should do themselves a favor and upgrade to one of these, http://www.m2cracing.com/product.sc?...&categoryId=36 . After breaking 3 of the plastic ones,I installed these on buggy and truggy both.One of the best upgrades you can get.If you have never broke the plastic servo saver arm,it`s a real headache to try and get fixed during club racing.

I just ran outside for 6 hours today and ran 8.0 f & 8.25 r with 500 front 450 rear, black pistons. This is probably a personal preferance more than anything, our track was very bumpy and dry slick with lots of dust! This was with the BCE chassis but that shouldnt matter, this will give you a starting point. I feel the black pistons give you better high speed dampening.
