guys how do i prevent the front of the car from lifting during hard launch. i have the rear as stiff as possible, but it still transfer weight to the rear wheels.

 

wheelie bars, move everything to the front of the car

 

so you have the rear stiff...how about your front?

wheelie bars are an option. And try to bias your weight distro to the front.

 

What do you have done to make the rear as stiff as possible?

 

put some adjustable shocks on the front and back. that will help a ton.

 

i have the tanabe sustec pro coil-overs. rear at the stiffest setting (8) and the front at the softest level.

what about a bushing kit?

nope. just replacment inserts on the engine mounts.

 

give that a shot. should stiffen you up all the way around

 

what about using stiffer springs in the rear, like Skunk2 or Eibach ERS drag springs.

 

or shallow stage, early launch and spread out the weight transfer over a slightly longer period of time. More clutch slippage at less than wot throttle. Make sure you're getting a good contact patch up front. Under power, not at curb height. Extreme positive can "help" the front come up just a smidge

 

the front shouldnt be soft, it allows it to rise up.

 

jareds exactly right. set the shocks on the front at there stiffest setting also

 

fill up the rear with bumpstops

 

so I should get rid for my 150k+ mile shocks?

Damn 11's might no be so hard after all (note the humor!)
