Corner weights

[exwestracer]

hi guys,sorry to get involve in this topic but its a very interesting to me.
I do race my 80 malibu as a road course,and am planning to weight it the next week,but something got me really confussed.
For logic the front end of the car will be more heavy then the rear right?
How do i increase the rear weight ? if my car have the stock suspension? i mean no coil over,i veheard something about the shims,but i dont know how they works,and how to fit them?.
Anybody can help me? and teach me?
thanks

The only way to alter the overall F/R weight distribution (at a fixed ride height) is to move components from the front of the car to the rear. Shimming springs will add or subtract weight from a given corner, but the total axle weight will not change.



Be careful about moving things around to get more rear weight, though... The closer to the rear bumper you get with the battery or whatever, the bigger effect it will have on weight bias, but that weight will also become a pendulum during cornering, which can have a drastic effect on handling balance.
