first things first,
you need to move your rear subframes instant center above your antisquat line. to do this you need to install spacers on the rear of the subframe, to lower it. This will essentially make your instant center shorter, and higher.
the benefit of this, is you will transfer ALL the load to the rear tires, versus some of the load being transfered as "sqaut". Squating allows a softer hit on the tires, but you lose that torque in the process.once you have your IC relocated, it's time to adjust your rear camber. You will want to run ZERO degrees of camber, or LESS (aka positive) camber. If you're car squats any, you can dial in your camber to allow a perfectly even distribution of contact patch. Then it's time to look at springs and shocks. You want to run the softest spring and shock that you can in the rear of the car, JUST until it bottoms out. If you bottom out, you lose engery and initiate wheel hop (lost traction). If you are off bottoming out, you aren't transfering all the weight of the car, there fore your car is inneficiant. In the front, you want the softest springs known to man, and the softest shocks (drilled out is best) you can buy. This will allow the nose of the car to rise, transfering load to the rear of the car. Learn to properly stage the car. You want to stage as SHALLOW as possible. You need to really bump in until the stage light flickers on, and leave it at that. The above combinations will REALLY effect your 60 foots.
