what to do/buy to make car launch hard

[91LX_5L]

I have springs, soon to have adjustable shocks/struts, mm plates, and subframes with battle boxes all in. besides this stuff what can I do to make my car really feel like its hooking up nice and strong a nice firm push in my seat sorta feel?

I dont drag just like that feeling.

Lower control arms will help plant your tires.

Tires will be your best bet IMO along with a GOOD set of LCA's and adjustable shocks/struts.

What is the best adjustment on a 5 way adjustable suspension to hook up better? ex. soft in front hard in rear? or vice versa? thanks.

Ok well I got the adjustable shocks/struts. Ill look into some LCAs.

I find with the 94/95 cars, the engine is just too small to launch the car hard. A blower and higher launch RPM or larger displacement can make the car move out with much more authority. Beyond that, in the traction department, a well balanced suspension that transfers weight well while keeping the differential from rotating violently and keeping the rear tires level will provide sufficient traction with a good set of tires. I found I didn't have to go much more than stock in my old '87 to drastically improve launches. I utilized PST Polygraphite bushings in all stock control arms while leaving the bushings in the rear end stock rubber to keep binding from occuring along with a set of KYB GR-2 Struts and Verticle shocks, which provided a nice ride with cornering hold and good weight transfer coupled with a set of KYB 3-way adjustable Quadshocks set to the hardest setting to control the differential rotation while not impacting ride quality. Oh, the Eibach springs and 275s in the rear didn't hurt either

thanks. I think I got it all figured out.

The numero uno thing to get to launch hard is a set of sticky tires. If they don't hook, all the suspension gadgets in the world won't change that.
