hows this suspension setup sound?
well i have an 04 GT 5-speed and i want to launch hard outta the hole
I already have M/T ET street Drag radials and an SLP line lock but i was thinkin of getting Lakewood action traction bars, Eibach drag launch springs and sub frame connectors
this car isn't my daily driver but does see the street

RE: hows this suspension setup sound?
this is my plan, you wont need this much until you make much more power, but you can pick and chose what you like.
coilovers all around, 200lbs springs, lakewood 90/10s front, 50/50s out back. tubular a arm, k member. welb in sub frames, MM weighjacker LCAs, MM 4 bolt CC plates, Watts link, torque arm, remove UCAs, built rear, aluminum driveshaft, clutch, heavy d u joints.

+1, my friends 03 with MT bogs when he drops at 4500... he runs same gears as me (4.10)
go with full length subframes, heavy duty adjust. rear control arms, panhand bar, light springs in front and heavy in back.

No i still won't leave hard atleast to my standereds
I drop the tire pressure to around 19psi,do a good sized burnout,launch around 2500 rpm or so,and feather the throttle until it stops spinning.
but of course i want to be able to launch harder
and my mod list in my sig. is all i have done plus i took off my front sway awhile back and it helped some

The panhand bar on a 4 link set up is only really need to improve cornering. All it does is make sure the axle doesn't go side to side.

You probably need to lower your tire pressurelower, be in second gear for the burnout if your not already,and extend your burnouts longer. They always seem longer than they really are. I learned that while watching my drag track videos.
