humm, first there was forward / reverse bias,,
now theres front / rear bias.:D

seriously, i dont think i know what your talking about but i can only assume you mean a front / rear difference of weight from the mid point forward and the midpoint to rear.  Someone else needing to know the center of the car,,lol  You and daminc running parallel universes?

Rough guesstimation on weight distribution is 56/44 F/R

Sweet.  That actually seems pretty good.  Thanks.  Just curious I guess.  Just doing some math to get a rough idea where I'm at with moving things around and with that hunk of IRS weight i have in the garage...  Probably going to hit the scales next week.
