My Coupe - A lil more oomph

Ok, Just getting a little bit of info on increasing my cars performance.

When im leaving the line, if i launch the wheels will sit there spinning like *****es and i start crying, i was told at another time that i could stop this alot by replacing the springs, what would you suggests, some king springs or whiteline? and how much do they usually cost for purchase and fitting?

Also, i wondered how much extractors could benifit my car.. and again how much and what kind of shops would do this for my CE Coupe ?

Thanks guys.

yeah springs/ shocks combo, fatter softer tyres, (AWD hehe j/k), koni / king combo set ya around one grand for all 4 but thats without labour, so thats maybe another 500 bucks for that.

The reason that your car does this is due to rear squat. Most people dont belive that FWD vehicles will squat in the rear but it does happen due to the front standing up and the weight shifting to the rear there for a heavier spring/shock combo is of benifit also remember the heaver the better but this will comprimise the ride of the vehicle and you may lose traction on uneven road surfaces depending on the stiffness of the spring.
