Too much rear squat?
Too much rear squat? I have BMR rear springs, V6 springs in the front. I can get it to hook, but it doesn't leave as fast as I think it should. 1.73-1.80 60' times are pretty normal for me on 17" MT radials.
Here are a coupld of pics from yesterday. (from my videos)

seems like yours ought to be a little quicker. i usually have 1.69-1.74 sixty fts. I have stock springs and shocks. I have a 3200vig with 3.73's. stock engine with bolt on's. I also run hoosier QTP 26x11x15.
yeah you should be pulling a better 60 than that...look at my sig and i pulled that one some shitty kuhmos and i have lowering springs... i think if i left just a little harder i could have pulled a low 1.8
It's hard to see in your pics, but yeah, looks like it's squatting. Squat is bad.. mkay? 
Here's a pic of my '94. I'm not the "launch king", not even close, but I keep the rear shocks stiff enough to plant the rear axle to the track. Note how that even though the front wheels are up, the back is not squatting.

I have BMR springs all around with Hals. I cut 1.60/1.61 on a 17 in BFG. I had the shocks set at 5 in the rear and 1 in front, no front sway.
You don't want the rear to squat you want it to push off the ground, hence the stiffer shock settings.

I have BMR extreme sway bar, QA1s, Hal springs. These are some pics from August 12th at a track rentel I ran at. As you can see she doesn't squat.
