How much would suspension upgrades improve my launch?

I’m making 600whp right now and I hook great above 20mph but hits from a dig are kinda rough.. how drastic of a change would suspension upgrades help me in this regard? I already have one of the best street tires so I think suspension is my only option to help with traction. What parts would you guys suggest?

Your R888R tires are great for roll racing, not drag racing from a dig. Something like NT555R or R2 is better for off the line since they’re actual drag radials.

That said, I did virtually everything BMR sells for my car (diff and cradle lockouts, control arms, toe rods, etc) and it eliminated my wheelhop and definitely improved my launch (and stability with 17” drag radials too when I run them). The flimsy stamped OEM pieces don’t belong on a high HP car, IMO.

Yeah I actually just switched from the 555r2, I would’ve bought them again but it would’ve taken multiple months to get another set. But for now I think I’m gonna look into a bunch of bmr parts and have it done all at once, appreciate the input!
