I heard this and was wondering if u can back me up. ppl say that swapping an RB25 or 20 can mess up your weight distribution of the car. I know it doesn't rly change that much though but I heard if you get an RB and install a CF hood and mount the battery in the trunk the weight distribution will be close to 50/50 and actually be better then the SR. Is this right or totally wrong.

I highly doubt you will be able to tell any difference as far as driveability. I've owned both a S13 and S14, with the KA then an RB20 in each and could not tell a difference. It's been discussed a few times on here already.

*shakes head*

it does not make a noticeable change in handling. a full vs. empty tank of gas makes more of a weight balance change than a RB swap.
