Its important to find what works for your car and track conditions. If you have too much steering the weight up front may work for you, if you need a little more add it to the rear. Thats what I have found anyway

HTH
What I have seen from the other guys at the track, is that they are using a servo saver, and they hav not any weight in the front. So I think I will try to take them off, and see what happens. Otherwise I will pay a visit to my local tire shop, and get some small 10 gr weights with adhisive on, and use some instead.
