Rake and launch...?
Rake and launch...? Me and my buddy have been having some problems launching, we both run a coil-over setup. Granted, our cars aren't all out drag, but we have this for a street and strip setup.
We have a little rake in for clearance on the slammed rears and agressive offsets.
My question is, would leveling the car out and placing weight to the back increase launch noticeable? Drag cars seem to have rake due to large back tires and skinnies in the front. BTW, he's still having traction issues on slicks, I have DR's and do not.

I dropped my front a bit and couldn't hook for **** so I had to bring it back up. I was running a heavy iron block so it couldn't transfer well I guess. It all depends on your set up with many factors: power, weight transfer, tires, gears etc. etc.
I'd bring it up and see what happens but it might not be all that's needed.

Thing is, I don't have traction problems, I don't spin. I could see raising the front/lowering the rear if I did.
My buddy spun all the time, seems like it worked for him.
BTW, I have that issue, just haven't spent alot of time with it.

LCA brackets are a hugely noticeable mod, I know.
