leaf car questions

got the first of two cars on the scales last night. we were able to create a starting point of 48% cross, 53% left and 53% rear total weight 3345. class req. 3200 minimum.. question is, how can i get the total weight down w/o compromising the percentages??

were also looking to bring the cross up above 50%

What size lowering blocks for the rear springs are you using? How much fuel to get 53% rear? Lots of variables to get the %'s right.

2" backspace wheels on both front tires and left rear. 1/2" spacer on left rear 1/4" spacer on the left front . 3" backspace on RR. 225/70r15 tires on left side. 223/70r15 right side. 25lbs in right side tires, 17 lbs in left side. 1" lowering block on both left and right rear. this is our basic dry track main event set up. 12 gallons of fuel.

look for 100 ways to remove a pound instead of 20 to remove 5. Stock cars have a lot of needed sheetmetal.

this car drove in decent but was loose off. we ran the setup above with 1/4" spacer in LF and LR.
