    Default cavalier weight distribution

    Hello all I have a 04 cavalier 2.2 5speed I have been playing with weight and was looking for some input on what percentage of weight would be ideal. I had it at 70/30 front/rear but the car was way to loose when entering the turn and wanted to come around on the turn therefore causing me to scrub a lot of speed. Have any of you played with weight? if so what worked for you guys? Thanks in advance

    Default handling

    Sound like theres to much cross weight LF to RR Start reversing cross weight till it doesn't want to come around on you.

    the rear is just the same as a trailer behind a truck, its just being drug around

    if you let off the gas to fast or too much the front tires are BRAKING while the rear are just trying to pass you buy just like a trailer would behind a truck on a curve if the truck slammed on the brakes

    you don't need to add weight to the rear to stop that

    if your turning your front wheels too sharp that also is like braking

    Do you have power steering?
