Here's a picture of one of my launches:

I know weight transfer is great for a RWD car, but I'm not sure about an AWD. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

I was actually thinking of a strut/spring with an airbag inside the spring. Kind of like a hot dog with a hole in the middle of it for the shaft to slide through. Then when you go to the track, air up the bags and it stiffens your suspension. If you had the AGX's I suggested though, you can simply turn the knob on the strut body up to the desired stiffness.
