I got my car weighed today.
It came in at 1120kg without me in the car.
740kg front and 380kg rear
Not too much fuel and no spare tyre in it.
This equates to front to rear weight distribution of 66% front and 34% rear.
What's a pretty reasonable weight distribution for a FF car? 60/40?
And how is 66/34 for overall handling if there is good suspension gear in the car?
These are my shock and spring specifications:
Front spring rate 220-260 lbs/in Progressive
Rear spring rate 170-220 lbs/in Progressive
Damper rates (measured at 600mm per second)
Front bump rate 1000nm
Front rebound 3000nm
Rear bump rate 850nm
Rear rebound 2750nm
Valving design is linear to digressive.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
