Howdy!

Question: when i have tracked my S4 (Stasis TrackSport Suspension), it feels moderately unstable under braking. I am attributing some of this to the front weight bias of the car.

What is the F/R balance from the factory?

For those that have stripped interiors, removed spare tires etc, doesn't this further increase the weight bias to the front?

What is the F/R balance after stripping the car?

And who is the king of 50/50 weight distribution?

Did it significantly improve track performance?

Alright, enough theoretical questions...start flaming!

in traction, brake surface, etc. I don't really worry about it.

Now, if you're swapping ends regularly, then you have a problem, but I bet it's not with weight distribution.

our cars are the worst,the damn engine is in front of the wheels and strut tower.

somewhere around 60f/40r avants are like 1% more shifted to the rear.

oh and BMW is king of the 50/50 distro.

If it's at PR it's the crapy pavement, other wise it can be a alignment issue

yea i wish that the engine was set back more.

And 60/40 is about the best weight dist. you'll get without adding ballast to the rear of the car. Other brands have better weight distribution, but that doesn't seem to matter much for the last half of the corner when we can just lean into the loud pedal and run away.

an then add ballast in the spare tire area with lead to get back to stock weight yet be at a true 50/50
