stock springs in my 1g awd or eibach prokits? i dont really care how my car handles under normal driving. im wondering if prokits would be better for launching or if the stock springs are better. currently i also have kyb agx shocks and im wondering what kind of settings i would want for launching. stiffer or softer front and rear. thank you in advance

Eibach Pro's by far..... you're running my setup, kyb + pro. Personally in a full weight car, i drive around daily with all four at 2. for the track, I'd probably put the fronts up to 3 and the rears up to maybe 5. It's kinda personal preference, but you don't wanna go too stiff and break out and lose control...

get the stiffest crap you can find.
struts are more important, but even more important than that is go to a GOOD alignment shop and tell them you want it set up for drag racing.
if you want quicker 60's, replace those rubber bushings in the rear trailing arms for the "passive all wheel steering" with the steel inserts someone out there sells. when you nail the rear down on a launch, your rear tires "duckfoot" out and scrub your acceleration like crazy.
