I don't know why you would need to.
I have an IRS car with coil overs on the front and made adjustable spring pe=
rches for the rear, I use a lightweight battery behind the passenger seat an=
d my car corner weights to 49.9% cross weight. I could have nailed it to 50%=
but settled for the .1% off
It's surprising how well these cars will balance without a lot of effort.
