If you are just running the 1/4 mile then it doesn't matter.

Thats kind of common knowledge though, bro!
lol Well I'm not too sure where you have been for the last 8yrs, but these things called "coilovers", have gotten quite popular and cheap. AND the magic with them is? You can corner weight and balance your car to perfect spec. Any shop can do this for you. AND the majority of people on this forum who are taking modding seriously, have a set.

Refrain from spreading misinformation.

Yes and no.

Coilovers won't change your F/R weight balance. It will, however, allow you to make the most of whatever weight you do have via balancing the crossweights.

That being said, cheap coilovers are... cheap for a reason.

Bear in mind, static 50/50 does not mean dynamic 50/50, that's where your coilovers come into play.

Agreed. One of the fastest cars in the world, the r35 gtr has a static 53/47 weight ratio but a dynamic 50/50 weight ratio

Bump for an update. Thoughts on moving the battery to the trunk to help weight distribution? Also remove the GTSPEC strut brace since it does very little (save that discussion for another thread).

Did we finish the interior yet? Super interested in how that turns out, or is that the finished product, space for a sick system.
