im looking to find the best setup for the rear suspension. i have stock v6 springs with lakewood drag 50/50 and an airbag. when i launched my car the front left tire came up about a foot and a half and the other tire kinda stood down. im trying to prevent this twist and level out the suspension. what would you guys recommend. thanks alot

Doesn't sound like a rear suspension issue... sounds more like the body needs stiffening. SFCs perhaps.
the car has a 10 point cage with subframe connectors

wheelie bar perhaps.... sounds like your lifting a little hard when ya stomp on it. a wheelie bar will hold those front wheels down.
damn this car must be badass lol i likeeee.
the twisting with subframes/ and a cage...idk if thats a suspension, u have the airbag already etc, wat do u have as far as the rear suspension goes.... aftermarket LCAs, panhard rod and i would look into a trac lock system with the shortened tubular torque arm. maybe even putting a stiffer spring with the one in the airbag to lessing the twist...maybe that could work
trac lock systems are made from BMR and maybe UMI and sphon

If that doesnt work, try the Spohn anti roll bar, it should fix it.
The Coilovers work awesome and i also install the spohn anti roll bar. they work awesome together.
ill post up a photo soon to show you guys how it works

- a wheelie bar will do nothing to stop twist. The sole purpose of a wheelie bar is to unload the rear tires, thus lessening their ability to transfer weight/pick up the front end.A stiffer spring on one side will work, but the best way would be a stiffer anti-roll bar. A stiffer spring causes un-even reaction in the rear due to different amounts of "stored" energy. Not neccessarily noticable for drag racing, but the proper way is still a stiffer anti-roll. For drag racing I have also been know to preload the anti-roll. If you shorten the driver's link or lengthen the passenger's, the bar will be pre-loaded to help resist the twist.
Coil-overs w/o modifications to the mounting points can be dissasterous. - I believe the spohn kit addresses this though.

coilovers on a thidgen alone are a waste of time for most.. look elsewhere.
they work awesome i went to the track yesterday. the car went 9.68 @139 with a 1.33 60ft on a footbrake

I agree it sounds like you might need to check into the drag anti roll bar. I have no personal experience with them. But what you are describing sounds like that is what you need.
ya i havent been on here in awhile. then i just got a reply. i do have the double adjustable rear coilovers and the anti roll bar. comes out real straight
