Default Evaluate Launch

At track this weekend playing w/ QA1 front coilovers/dbl adjust shocks.
Swapped to this combo to better control front end on launch (bouncing) and be able to better adjust front end height.
Started out w/ 4 clicks extension and 12 compression. We ended up getting best run w/ front shock adjusted at 8 extension and 8 compression. Rear shocks are calverts adjusted 4 clicks (i think they adjust up to 9. What they have been set for years n car)
W/ old 90/10 shocks and trick springs I pulled front end up higher but had identical 60' and 1/8 times.
Watching video i think I could hit rear tire a little harder (appears to spin) and car still appears to bounce up after initial launch.
30x9 tire and 4:56 gear.
Link below is best pass that gave 1.38 60' and 6.38 1/8. Video in slow motion, but I wish quality was better. I think some definition was lost transferring from phone to computer.
