run mine mid low both ends, sometimes mid high in the front. If the driveshafts are straight your car will the more neutral
on and off power. The driveshafts try to straighten out when accelerating which causes the handling effects.

The center of gravitys effect is minimal. The diffs weigh less than 10g. Try taping a 10g lead weight on the topdeck and see
if it makes a difference That is 10x bigger change on the center of gravity than the diffheight and you probably wont be
able to tell a difference.
So, in layman's terms, raising the front diff height will cause the front to squat when you accelerate? And this will increase steering grip when accelerating out of corners?
