QUOTE(Andyrew @ Mar 29 2004, 08:15 PM) Im was just wondering if it was better to take weight off the front or the rear.. Ie Fiberglass hoods, bumpers.. stuff like that. Both, of course!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif) I know the mags talk about "ideal 50-50 weight distribution", but they're trying to plug products and have nifty-looking prose. I think that the 914 has a pretty good weight distribution for its suspension and such, which is "about" 55% on the rear wheels. If you're taking weight off, take it wherever you can. Deal with any change in the "balance" of the car by whatever means you need to. --DD |
