It seems pretty neutral before locking it and after.

The front sits a lot lower than the rear....it appears.

I am running a spare because without it and a full tank the rear seems too light at present. If I move the battery to the rear I can achieve pretty good balance I think and lower weight.

I would like to stiffen roll resistance but finding a stiffer anti sway bar is not possible... i have thought of adding one but so far have had no luck finding one that will work for that. I have some bump stops from my old bmw that I might put inside the shocks on front to reduce roll too. I am aware the station wagon sway bars are thicker but I suspect that they aren't enough different to warrent the cost.

The hood has no sound insulation. but otherwise is normal weight.
