Hey pumpkinking,

Always a difficult discussion. Both Zax and Robokill here on the board run roughly with your setup on their hachi's (8kg front, 6kg rear). It gives a stiff ride which is good for track/drift, but at the sacrifice of comfort. The cars are definately street drivable but on bad quality roads your teeth will fall out Big Grin

I myself run 6.2kg front and unknown rear allthough I'm hoping to change that soon. Rear is probably around 2kg and allthough it gives great grip at the rear, there is little balance to be found in my car.
I'm going for a 6.2kg to 4kg setup which should hopefully give me a balanced ride. Stiff enough for normal trackwork, a little more comfort for street driving.

I've heard that a 4 to 4.5kg front, 2 to 3 kg rear setup is considered an ideal compromise between good handling and comfort.

Greetz,
