Looking for the cheapest with the most "launch torque" stiffness setup

In other words. I wanna launch and not feel my the whole car shift on the suspension as if it is boat. This not only makes your car look weird but also effects launches and that torque feel that I wanna feel again. Instead of it being all absorbed by my worn out SE struts.

Any brands that I can get that will give me this?

Please no K-sports and I really can't afford Tien Basics. And no Ebay crap.

I also want a decent ride with good cornering because I am also doing my LCA and stab bushings as well soon to stiffen up my turns.

Interested in buying used as well. Just LMK.

Shortened Konis and Ground Controls have pretty much removed all squat upon acceleration and dive upon braking for me (spring rates about 4x stock, you can order custom rates as well). Ride is firm but not bouncy, and body roll is near negligible compared to a basic spring-strut setup such as the Eibachs and Konis I was on before.

Konis can be had for about $550 and Ground Controls for $400, there is a bit of work involved however.
