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.

Why did you bother to tweak the car and then back the springs off? By backing off the tweak screws until there are gaps between the springs and the top of the rear links you have effectively removed any tweak changes you made.
Thanks for the repair on the ICS. I wish I was there racing this weekend.
