What kit are you talking about? I have never heard of a "drag launching kit".

are you guys serious? drag suspension kits i am talking about.. Eibach drag launching kit! you know the airbag in the springs.. that makes weight transfer easier..

Ah, OK. that puts it in some context.

First off, the airbag in the spring has nothing to do with weight transfer. The Airbag is intended to counteract the twisting of the rear axle under hard acceleration. This is something completely different than weight transfer (front-to-rear).

Anyway, I don't know anyone who is running this setup. I know one guy who airbaggedhis springs and found it didn't make any difference t all on the strip, so hegot rid ofit. All of the guys who I know that drag race seriously haven't needed it.Upgrading the rear end suspension parts such as the LCAs, sway bar, and adding LCA brackets is pretty much best thing you can do to get more traction in a drag situation.

If you want something for weight transfer (making the front come up), then you need the LCA relocation brackets, lighten the front end of the car (radiator support, front swaybar delete, relocate the battery to the trunk, etc.), and you need either drag shocks or adjustable shocks. The biggest key to getting good front to rear weight transfer is to lighten the front end and have very soft rebound damping in the front.

Exactly what he said. You can do a swaybar delete and tubular k-member if you want to go to that extreme. I went with lots of rear suspension changes and am pulling 1.68 60 foots on kdw2's. Good enough for me and no sacrifice on cornering.
