    Wouldn't adding something heavy to the rear have the same effect?

    or maybe not so heavy:

      Busy with a project at the mo. Doing a 40mm shift of AAN in narrow body so I can fit a front mounted radiator. CV angles not viewed as a big problem, as at least the inner CV's can be changed to tripod type with longer plunge.

      However not worth the effort on a street car. Does make a difference on the track car, but so does camber, toe in and rear toe out, to make the car a little tail happy.

      Weight as mentioned, but battery first and second starter motor. Replace it with one from AAN, NG etc. Its a smaller dia starter and a bit lighter. Also quieter.

      Now if only we could find a L5 ali block, then that would put a smile on a few faces.
