Does anyone know how this will affect the car, should you always aim to get an equal weight bias front to back?
Weight bias front to rear is a tuning option. The more weight you have further back in the car, more weight will transfer to the front when entering a corner therefore giving you more grip. The further forward the weight is in the car the less it will transfer when going into a corner therefore giving you less grip.
You don't need to aim for 50/50 weight bias front to rear, most of my setups have slightly more weight in the rear then the front.
