I moved the rear arms forward for 2 reasons.... yes it will shift the weight slightly. Not as much as you would think though. In on-road we change wheelbase and on the scales its usually less than 20g from one extreme to the other, so the static weight change is minimal. The second and more important reason was for more dogbone angle. This will cause more bind in the outdrive and result in more traction. Our car uses universal drive axles which have much less bind than CVDs, therefore have less traction.

I’m not sure the reasons behind running the rear springs up front, some people say the front springs bind at full compression.... I've looked at mine and stock they would slightly coil up before the spring retainer hits the cartridge, I run .060" external limiters and my springs don’t bind at all. Realistically if your concerned the car will be upset at absolute full compression you should probably be using a stiffer spring rate anyway. I tried the rear springs up front once and didn’t like the way they drove mid corner, they felt like the front end "fell" or collapsed.

yes its noted on the setup sheet, there is a spot to list spacers used under the rear plate. It says 0mm that means the plate is mounted directly to the tranny case

No, I'm using the widest options pieces, stock is second to narrowest ones I believe.

4deg rear toe will have more forward bite than a 3deg plate..... my car has plenty of forward bite and it rotates better with the 3deg
