Default need sugestion on setup for launching

i have a b16a y1 LSD crx, running falken hannbi 10lbs wheels, with azenis rt615 tires. supension is stock, cut spring, 2coils. i having problem with 60ft time, 2.5 most of time. my car will spin then it hook up then bog way down. i launch at 5000. my rear end do drop down at lot. i'm thinking running some integra spring? i don't have money to get some good spring yet, but will. any suggestion it may help? thx
oh i do have lightweight flywheel too, i'm not sure about how heavy. i think about 11lb

1. get some 14 inch wheels, HX wheels will work for now
2. 205/50r14 BFG radials, better to use some slicks MT 20.0/8.0R14
3. Energy Suspension radius arm bushings
4. you will need some kind of suspension, no way around it. Even some cheep ebay coilovers would be better than nothing. see if you can get a vendor to swap the rear springs out for some 800 lb+ springs.

What car do you have? I am assuming the CRX? You should use some stock Civic/CRX front springs in the rear. You can chop some out if you want, but even if you leave them stock height it will give you what you are looking for.

I got my best 60's by slipping the clutch at 4500 or so. 1.9's and 2.0's.

yea, is a crx 90 si,
i have it weight other day 2380 with me in it. i weight about 180. i plan on trying to lose some weight, me and the car. lol. it got a vis SiR hood.
supension stock crx spring. cut 2 coils front and back.
b16a y1 LSD (yes it grinds)
lightweight alum flywheel, act stage 2 clutch.
falken azenis rt615, they are the next best thing compare to BF drag.
crome tuned with 4800 launch control and 4800 vtec point (not sure thats a good idea)
here's the thing, i launch it spin, then my tire will grab after a half of sec spin, then i bog down to 4k, then the motor fighting to get to vtec, may need more tuning and going to try higher launch point,
2. my car rear end drop way down, like my supension is not strong enough. thats why i want to go with some stiffer spring, but hell ebay spring may do.
its still about a 1 1/2 inch fender gap, and about 2 1/2 on back. so i thinking droping the back down a little, may be weight trasfer not too bad?? strut is good but factory, so not sure.
