50/50 weight distribution.

[Pavlo]

How hard is it to get a perfect weight distribution with a CRX? Even with CF hood, fiberglass fenders, bumper and battery relocation I think it still won't be perfect. Maybe adjusting coilovers.
Does any one know what else can be replaced/moved/adjusted to achive this result?
I want to keep the windshield, engine, transaxels ect., so taking them out is not an option.

hahahaha, creative, hahahaha
Besides that one, I just read that proper adjustment of shocks can greatly shift weight around the car.

Nice sig pic Pavlo

The easiest way to balance a car is with adjustable height springs, coilover sleeves or true coilovers. This can be done at a performance shop with scales capable of the weight of your vehicle. By corner weighting you can fine tune the weight distribution to all four corners. Corner weighting is one of the most over looked adjustments that noob's don't do. Corner weighting and a proper alignment will drastically improve handling.

Moving the battery to the right rear of the car, which is simple and helps.

If your serious about handling have your body weight simulated in the car when alignments or corner weighting is preformed.

Every time the ride height is adjusted alignments and corner weighting should be done.

There is no way to get a FWD car 50/50 unless you pork it up, which would kill performance, braking, and handling. There's just too much weight up front with the engine, axels, AND tranny there.

You can get 50/50 cross weights on the car by corner weighing the car. So that you have equal weight FL (front left) to RR (rear right) and FR (front right) to RL (rear left).

i thought 70/30 was the prefered weight of FWD cars? more weight on the drive wheels=more grip?

also i talked with a (ASE)mechanic before and he suggested against battery relocation since youre taking weight off the drive wheels.

Like I said, Mechanics arnt handeling experts. Going fast in a strait line is differnt than going fast in cuvres.

well then check this out: http://www.se-r.net/car_info/suspension_tuning.html

good guide for FWD cars.

also from drive.com.au

The point, said Honda at the time, was superior weight distribution; specifically, getting loads of weight over the front wheels as an aid to traction and to make the vehicle less susceptible to side winds.

The ideal weight distribution, according to Honda, for a front-drive, front-engined car is a staggering 60:40 front:rear.

Thank you everyone, right now I have a civic which will have b18c and some integra parts in eventually and getting a 240sx soon, which i will probably use as a track car (rwd, 50/50 with some mods), so the CRX will be fast daily beater.
Thanks I like my sig too .
