Default suspension help guys!

so i have alot invested into the suspension of this car. it does have a full pi swap and its not insane fast so it shouldnt be spinning so bad. Heres what i have as far as suspension.
Steeda K- member
Steeda strut tower brace,
Steeda full length welded sub frame connecters
Steeda bumpstear
Maximum Motorsport caster/camber,
Maximum Motorsport front and rear sway bars
Steeda coil overs in front with steeda pro springs
Steeda offset bushings
40 series flowmaster mufflers
Tokico Illumina 5 way adjustable shocks/struts (front and rear)
Eibach sportline springs in rear
Steeda X2 ball joints
Steeda Adjustable rear lower control arms
Steeda G-trac bar
Nitto 555r's on 18 psi for launch

She handles like no other but as far as drag, or sprinting she spins all the way through first and most of second. She used to bite okay but now just spin. I have my tokikos at setting 1 in the front and 3 in the rear. any ideas and how low should my car be for the best launch? from ground to fender i mean? any tips would be great especially on the setting my tokikos should be. Also i have no backseats or anythign in my trunk.

Sportlines definitely dont help with launching that much unless you have your rear suspension setup for them. I mean if you have your control arms adjusted for proper launching and stuff, then having the stiffer rear springs isnt bad. But you probably wanna adjust your control arms and then soften up the shocks in the back. But you should probably have your car not so low to launch well. Id try the second setting on your shocks and go from there. But you really should have your suspension setup professionally to get the full benefit of your setup. Email Kevin Slaby from baseline suspension or better yet, go to www.baselinesuspensions.com/ and look at how to setup your suspension yourself and email him if you have any questions about it.

Awesome teej thanks for the help. And yea i know synxered i got a bit carried away. i swear i can take a corner at 120 and not budge. Its awesome. But again i suckass with a launch even on the radials. My best launch has been a 2.08 60ft but that hasnt heppened again since they couldnt put my car on the dyno without raising it up now it all out of whack again. ill go check that site. thanks again

Lots of good stuff on that website. I really need to do some more suspension stuff to make my car hook like it should.
