sticky tires and control arms would be a start, but your never gonna get good wieght transfer with lowering springs, a 1.9 60' with tires (drag radials) and control arms would be a good goal to shoot for.

Well, with some ET Street's I'm cutting almost a 1.6 60' with Eibach Pro-Kit springs
Lowered 1.5"
Also have Full Length Sub-Frame connectors, and the Battery in the back tho

The Eibach drag race springs and shocks will work a lot better the Eibach Pro kits. Also lower control arms will work great too.
And also gears like 3.73's or 4.10's will make the car launch quicker.

If your looking for straight line launches then I would steer clear from lowering springs.

The eibach drag launch kit does lower the car a little and works great for launches. However I think it only lowers the car about 3/4 of an inch to 1 inch. Also they make the steering a little more interesting. I love them on my car, but It is definately not the setup for a daily driver

That's a given, but theyre made for two different things.
One for turns one for drag
