Wow. I'm amazed that nobody told you that the B springs will hurt ya more. You need drag springs and subframe connectors. Move the battery to the rear right. Take everything from Millhouse with a grain of salt. His car is freakish and I think he drives it well (actually a compliment). There is no point in getting the drag struts and shocks if you plan on putting a lowering spring on your car. Correct me if I'm wrong about the B springs. Anyway, its like getting a nitrous kit and adding 1200lbs of stereo equipment to your car. Know what I mean?

yeah... i think i might just buy kyb gr2's for right now with those b springs, or tokico sells a kit that is designed with there springs and shocks/struts.... i think one of the reason's my 60 ft. times were so bad that outing is because my clutch cable was routed wrong, and i was shifting like right at or before the 60 ft. mark...

Lol, I hear what your saying...perhaps I am a mad launcher. I do believe that some of it has to do with track prep...some has to do with how well your car is running...but mostly it's up to the driver. There is no excuse with decent track prep, dr's and 3.73+ gears for a well running 5.0 to be running above 2.0 60's. I think sometime people try to do to much while running at the strip. If your having trouble launching...screw the 1320. Focus just on your launch...not what your r/t is...not what your et or trap speed is. I'm not saying to dog out the 1320, but to try to focus on everything is asking alot...it's actually not going to happen.

I have my launch down with my current mods 100%. I can salvage a 2.0 60' and turn it into a high 1.8 60'. Having mastered my 60', and also my r/t...I am able to focus only on my shift rpms and quickness.

I'd say that a drag suspension could possibly help, but dont expect it to be the cure all. If you cant launch now, your not going to be able to launch just because you added drag suspension components...imho.
