Rear spring question????????????????

Of these springs, which one will help me launch the best? I'm thinking the stock SS springs.

Stock SS springs
1LE springs
Eibach Pro Kit springs

Not much help but I run the stock Formula springs with 1/2 a coil cut off the top and with the cushions still there.
Rear needs to be just stiff enough to not squat on launch. Keep in mind that I have my rear QA1s set at 6 lh and 7 rh.

I have had both the Eibach pro kit and stock springs w/ a coil cut off. I had the same 60 ft. with both. Went back to the stock spring for a little extra clearance.

I going racing this w/end. I thought I wanted the rearend to plant(soft spring). I have the Eibachs in now. I thought I'd switch them out with the SS springs to get a good launch. Any tips

Depends on how your car weight transfers. Mine transfers well with the stock rear springs and I have been setting hy hals at 7 and 8. If the car squats too much you are leaving 60' time on the starting line.
