best possible launch set up

[STEEDA96]

i have a few things to install on my gt vert 5spd. H&R supersports, adj. rear LCAs, MM caster camber plates, steeda bumpsteer kit.
right now i have 315 nitto nt555r's on the rear, and after the suspension is installed, ill be shopping for 3.73s for the rear. i was wondering if anyone had any other suspension mods they have used to get great launches off the tree. also, i was wondering if i should get beefier lakewood u joints to accomodate the 373s. no engine mods for now because the 460 is still up the air. :TY:

Youre not going to get much weight transfer with springs like the supersports. You need a softer spring rate up front with some 90/10 ratio struts to help give you that weight transfer to plant the rear tires.

Now with that being said, that doesnt mean you wont get decent launches with what you have. Just take it to the track and practice, practice, practice until you get better. Ive cut a 2.03 60' with Sportlines and Tokico HP strut/shock combo so its possible.

Picking a good launch set-up

I dont know anything about suspension mods, but ive heard LCA's will lower e.t's by decreasing wheel hop. Ive got a basically stock car so i was wondering how much of an improvement there would be?

Also are there any other parts that can lower e.t's that dont take away from regular street drivability.?

Thanks

Re: Picking a good launch set-up

Well you could choose stange adj, shocks to change at the track but retain streetability paired with 4cyl or eibach drag spings and that paired with LCAs you could be launching pretty nice.

Re: Picking a good launch set-up

do you think just LCA's alone would make ny car any faster? I dont have all that much wheel spin so i wasnt sure if they are worth the money>

You have to be kidding me. There is a thread two spots down about the SAME EXACT THING. I merged them. Next time I'll lock the thread.
