Default Do springs effect your launch?

just like the topic says.
let's say some guy has normal lowered springs and the other guy has cut springs . would springs come in play when launching the car?

YES SPRINGS HAVE A GREAT DEAL TO DO WITH LAUNCH STIFF REAR SPRINGS ARE GOOD FOR LAUNCHING UNLESS YOU HAVE A WHEELIE BAR THEN YOU WANT SUPER SOFT SPRINGS
