Weight Distribution after a drop

I recently got the tanabe sustec pro installed, right now I just have it lowered front and rear to eliminate the gap and get the right look.

But I was wondering when we lower the G37s, are we messing at all with the weight distribution?

What is the stock measurements from ground to fender on our car? so we can drop relatively.

the weight distribution if I am not mistaking was 49, 51%. Cant we make it perfect to be 50 50?

I tried searching, I am not sure if this was covered before, but I would be interested if anybody looked into this. or is it that it doesnt make a significant difference?

On a side note, I love the tanabes, they ride better than stock, and handle much better, I cant wait to get a set of sways.

You can get it corner balanced. Google corner balance for more.

IMO corner balancing is totally unnecessary for a daily driver. A dedicated track car yes, but not a DD.

Ok, I guess it wont matter to a point I could notice. I never track the car, just daily driving taking curves fast. so corner balancing wont be necessary. thanks anyways

I agree, debated on this for a while, reached the same conclusion. The other side of the argument is that the it'll maximize the benefits of running coils, which many DDs have.

You can notice differences after corner-balancing.
