I too am curious as to why this question was posed. Got some juicy plans you aren't sharing? :P

sorry, no secret plans. I was just looking at other cars weight distribution and couldnt find ours. Just curious If i ever get a crap load of money and a job, id like to do a 5spd w/lsd 6g74 rpw stage 2 cams, stage 3 if that kia sedona short block works, since its higher compression with forged internals, a bunch of other crap, huge fender flares and the list goes on, but i doubt that would happen but whenever/if i will be taking it to the track for sure - look on club 3g if your not familiar the 6g74 and the sedona info thats just come up- and as for weight if i ever get that other stuff done, ill be trying to lighten the car up, also i like some fat ugly spoilers mostly for looks but figured id try to find out the weight distribution, figure out how much down force the spoiler adds at certain speeds get a ruff idea of the cars weight distribution/balance as much as possible. - just dream/thoughts. I drive my car on lots of windy roads, some going very fast. I doubt at a most tracks my car would be going fast enough for a spoiler to work and cause more drag, but on twistys at like 80-90 maybe it could help. But most of all i was just curious. and yes i know many other things like camber bla bla would do much more than a spoiler so dont give me the spoilers are gay speech

Just so you know you drive a FWD car that likes to push. Most FWD cars are going to have alot of weight over the front end to make it drivable in snow. As I've found with our cars you want to help the ass end come around, so adding any sort of spoiler/wing without a thick swaybar is worthless.
