Better launch with suspension in "comfort" setting?

I've been picking up that it is optimal to launch the M5 with all settings on "Sport Plus" except suspension, which should be on "Comfort". Is this true? And if so, why?

Comfort allows the car to squat more in the back as weight transfer to the rear. Thus you get a better connection with the tires and the road.

My best 60' times were with suspension in comfort. I also leave steering in comfort but I'm not sure if that takes power away to drive the power steering pump over sport mode.

That said, getting an M5 out of the hole is tricky and sometimes frustrating. Get it just right and the acceleration rush is quite addictive.
