our weight distribution

Just curious, what is the CL-S weight distribution? Wouldn't this help us determine how stiff we should set our konis in the front and rear?

You can fix the weight distribution by putting a Honda Civic Engine in the car. That would make it about 55/45.

Or put bricks in the trunk! and then mod it to make up the extra weight difference.

Good question!

I'd love to see someone pull the sucker off and weigh it.

I'd even consider trying that tiny dry cell battery that Kevin M was using provided that it held-up! (He sold his car to a new member here)

BTW -- I was told that the truck lid was light (go figure)...

I wish my car would have been 70/30, the 63/37 is perfect, those of you who have big stereo systems know this. Before I added my koni's I could peel the tires the whole way up till about 4000rpms in 2nd. (with the vsa off of course)Now it is better still get quite a bit of weight transfer on hard launches.
