i haven't had any problem launching my car. since i got all the rear end stuff i get no hop it just goes. i'm just using plain old tokicos and rb springs... why bother with more exotic parts ?

the rear suspension isn't the problem, i just dont want the car squatting too low, i want the 90/10 shocks up front the throw the front end up and help the weight transfer to the back, so the car kinda stands up on its ***, instead of just dragging it.



watch the diffrence between ari's car launching and steve kans. steve's car squatts all the way to the floor while the front stays low, ari's front end comes up and the rear stays at a decent height.



the more your rear squatts, the more it changes the rear camber and gets less of the tire tread to the ground.



i'm trying to apply some v8 tricks to my fd



trust me, ari is running drag shocks
