I reciently put a moser 9", spool, and spohn front pro coil overs to help improve 60' times in my street strip car. Last year I could only get off the line by brake torqing it to about 1700rpm and releasing the brakes and slowley rolling on the throttle. I am running 275/50/15 mickey drag radials with the following.
spohn lca brackets, torque arm
kyb agx adjustable rear shocks
hotchkis control arms, panhard bar, rear sway bar
stock v6 rear springs
hotchkis front springs with kyb agx struts (now replaced coil overs)
How much will my 60' improve this year? Will the putting the spohn coilovers on the kyb agx struts hurt me that much? What do you guys think, I really do not want to replace my struts with 90/10 or worn struts this year.

i don't see the coilovers helping your launch at all without a strut change. Moreover, put on some slicks, then report back if it hooks like crazy

try an antiroll bar or the spohn drag bar for the rear, remove the front sway bar too. The coilovers probably wont do much for you, as far as the 60 ft goes. Try a bias ply tire and maybe try messing with the rear shock adjustments.
The front sway bar is removed, and I am running a hotchkis one in the rear. I do not have problems with body roll or coming out of the hole sideways. You guys really do not think that the coil overs alone will help that much, I used to have lowering springs up front?
