Also depends on how much gas I have towards the end of the day, if it's near empty I will place it back in so it's not completely back heavy.
Really interesting to me... I pulled out my spare over the weekend while running AutoX and just assumed less weight is better - BUT I did not account for the loss of weight over the front wheels as a potential problem (understeer?).

I have a C4S so not sure if that changes things much around this idea....

Need to try a Test and Tune at some point to have less "pressure" and freedom to experiment!
