Best suspension setup for launch?
I currently have a set of tein lowering springs on my evo 8 right now but when I launch it feels like when the back squats and pulls the front wheels and then it just goes all to s*** from there. Any suggestions?

teins are too soft.I use swift sports with stock struts with BFG drag radials and have pulled 1.4 60 ft times.

D2 Drag Coilovers. They are being used on some of the 8 & 9 second Evos on here.

~-2 camber front, ~+2 camber rear. Soft rear springs, and medium to hard rebound

Spring rate should be 6 in the rear and 8 in the front. From what a few shops told me. Then they set the damping to soft. You want the rear to squat.

Yea but it just feels like when the rear squats the front looses traction but stiffening up the fronthould resolve this problem
