What suspension mods will help me launch?

The mods in the sig along with Nitto DRs and I still can launch worth s*it at the track. I want to be able to drop the clutch at 4-5K and let it rip. What will help me out here? Besides some E/T drags, which are next on the list.

Get an adjustable front strut set up. QA1 makes a very nice set up. Rear lower control arms and an adjustable torque arm will greatly improve traction. Do not over look the most important peice of the traction puzzle: STICKY TIRES!

I think my Nitto DRs are pretty sticky but when these wear out Im just gonna get 2 seperate rims and mount some Mickey ETs on them for the track. Also, what do you guys think about running V6 springs? Are they worth it?

Not a mod but try removing front sway bar it will give you better front to rear weight transfer.Also should take about 30 pounds off the front of the car hope this helps.

I've tried before and could never get the bolts loose. I'll try harder next time before going to the track. See if it helps at all

Just soak the bolts with alot of PB Blaster. It took me awhile to get the bolts broke loose, but they finally did after about half a can.

Lower Control Arms with poly or spherical bushings, and LCA relocation brackets will help keep the rear planted and reduce wheel hop.

However if you want to drop the clutch at 4500+ rpm, you will need BFG drag radials at minimum!
