Tire spin issue, coil overs?

So im currently at 385/385 and when i launch i spin my tires ridiculously. Im currently on Nitto NT05s so tires arent an issues but I'm interested in a suspension set up that i could make for street/drag, ideas?

You better of spinning tires then put that
Stress some where else on your drive train. Handle the throttle and the clutch
A bit smoother so you get less spin. Only thing I can tell you on suspension if you think that is a problem, then soften up a rear a bit let the car sit on your rear wheel more. But then you will give more stress to your rear diff. Evos are not really strong there from the begin with.

If you've already decided that Nitto's attempt to make a stiff-sidewalled street-tire is not your problem when launching, then there's little that we can do for you.

actually your tires are the issue or part of it the nto5 is a great tire for autox road racing and the street but not great for drag racing they have a extremely hard side wall and don't offer any flex or bite during a launch even if you air them down to 20psi range I knocked 3 tenths off my time just switching to a friends all seasons 60 foots where 2.1 with the nt05.
