Went to the track again last night, got no traction and some bad caliper rattle! help

I went to the strip again last night, it was 98 degrees and 100% humidity. I was running 13.4's and 13.5's all at 107 or 108 mph. I couldn't get traction if my life depended on it, my 60' times were all 2.38 or higher, and I was the only one at the track that was seriously squaking the tires every time I shifted with my M6 even when I shifted into 4th. I need some advice as to why I am losing traction so bad and why my tires squak at every shift, they didn't do this nearly as bad before I put SLP subframe connectors on, could this have made the difference? Also I need some help, I was trying different air pressures and when I kick my tire hard I notice that the rear callipers rattle, does anyone else have this problem?

I had a rattle in my caliper and realised that the little spring like thing that pushes pads back out fell off. could be that. try to move the pads, if they do, there you are.

Thanks for the help, I checked one side and it was fine, now I gotta check the other, it is the rear callipers that seem to rattle.
