Hello
Are you having any wheel hoping issues or anything along that line? If not sounds like you are just having a weight transfer problem. I would look into getting a new front adjustable strut. And possibly a set of lower control arm relocation brackets to assist on your launch. Each vehicle is different and they can be temperamental......lol. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help. Below is a link to show you what I was explaining about the relocation brackets.
