Best way for Your car is to get some flat sheet steel and some lead. ( My favorite is to line the forward section of the passenger footwell with layers of foil and have someone pour liquid lead into that area. ) wait for it to cool and pry it out or just leave it.) then get Your flat section of sheet steel and bolt it to the bottom of the car through the lead to another flat section of sheet steel on top of the lead. If the sheet steel happens to be extra long and wide it can extend accidentally forward under the car significantly and of course then You dont need as much lead in the car.(Stupid place for ballast anyway safety wise) then the top piece of steel also weighs something and You wont need much lead in Your sandwich. You may find that You can actually significantly alter Your F/R weight balance with a driver weight in the seat to where the car nears perfection on corner weighting....If You plan ahead correctly....
