i owuld think the coupe would weigh less in the rear less glass so thats probably more closer to 50 50 but i remeber these discussions i think it is 52 48 for the coupe. but i know someone will correct me cause im not positive

I could've sworn the car was a little heavier in the front. &nbsp;Like 53/47 or so.

how can you fix it to an ideal 50/50 weight ratio? exactly what suspension mods do you need?

you're not going to need suspension mods... you actually have to lighten the heavier end, with a carbon fiber hood or something like that. Also, relocating the battery to the rear will help, and I believe the SR swap will make it a near perfect 50/50 with the aluminum block, but I may be wrong about that.

when you open the driver side door, you can see a sticker on the side what will tell you the weight distribution of the car.. 53/47

transient is right, with the SR its like 50/50, because of the Al block. But I think if you did carbon hood and maybe fiberglass fenders..stuff like that. you would be closer.

what is the distribution of a hicas equipped 240sx? i know it may be barely heavier, but i would think it would be more even

Hmm, wouldn't surprise me if the Hicas versions are about 51/49

is it on the door or is it on the body? &nbsp;'cause i don't see it on the sticker that's on the body, and i see some glue marks on the door (i assume it got pulled off?) &nbsp;and wha's all the GVWR, GAWR, RR things?
