Crashby, (and jph)
I see what you are saying here but I don't see the wieght balance having a big effect on tweak at least not in a comparison of these two circumstances. If the wieght balance is off by too much it will affect handling if you do a positive tweak or not. If the wieght balance is not right and you tweak the car for even wieght on the front then there is no way the weight can be even on each wheel. I haven't thought it all the way through but tweaking the car does not redistribute the weight in the car, just the pressure on the front wheels. The way I "tweaked" the car was to tweak it normally and then back each screw of by one full turn so the distance the spring were away from the balls was the same each side. Not much else to do I think. i know I haven't thought it all through yet but I'll get there.
Crashby, I have a repaired ICS for you.
