Stock Suspension = better take off?

[Robo's]

Ive got damn hard Tein NA's, they ride like a brick but corner like a go cart.

Im looking at maybe buying some stock rear springs or shocks to help make the rear squat on take offs. At the moment i get alot of wheelspin which i think i could reduce with a softer rear end. How much softer is the stock suspension? Should i only need softer rear shocks?? Or should i go for springs as well?

I suppose i should do the front as well. I hope it doesnt look like a 4WD when im finished.

Any thoughts?

The front setup is the problem. The rear setup being hard is not a real problem in your case. The diff cradle pineapples will improve things quite alot, if you don't already have them.

My front is quite low, i was thinking of raising it and getting a bit of leveredge out of it. But i doubt whether that would do much either as its pretty hard at the front so im not going to get much weight transfer.

A couple of years ago I changed the rear spring rate on an R33 GTST from 6kg/mm (335 lbs/inch) to 3kg/mm (170 lbs/inch). I also did a rear wheel alignment, backed off the shocks a bit and it was 3/10th's faster over 1/4. It already had pineapples, so no change there.

A drag strip is a lot flatter and better prepared than the roads you drive on every day.

I might try some pineapples, car seems very slippery out of corners too, a very light feel.
