I would just go for an adjustable rear shock and up the pressure a bit. That should keep it from bottoming out. tThe spinning is from when it unloaded after bottoming out. The front appears to be doing ist job of springing up easy and compressing again slowly. Good work.
That's not bad at all. You spun a little off the line which is ok. Remember, when you don't spin at all stuff breaks. Your car squatted nicely and the front end stayed up. Looks pretty good to me. I would spend money elswhere.

This was an insanley hard hooking track, it was the Thursday after the NHRA nationals were here. It was acutually the first time i remember bottoming out the suspension, feeling it bottom out anyway.
That last time i didn't spin off the line, i cut a 1.47, so i'm looking to do that again.

what if you tighten the rear up a bit? like you said, it's bottoming out and breaking loose, catching and then squatting a bit more again. If you tighten up your rear shocks a couple clicks, you might get it to sit and stay right where you want it. I think your tire pressure is OK, the tires seem to be spinning just enough, and your 60' time is great, so try tightening it up a tad and see where you get

Oh, I guess I missed that one. In my opinion your best bet would be stock springs (or stock spring rates with as long of springs as you can use) and something like a koni adjustable.
