Just a silly question!

Anyone notice a decent amount of traction from relocating your battery to the trunk? I know it is good for 1/2 a second, right! LOL No seriously, how about snow, any different? I would imagine so. I also have the drag shocks too with the airbag in the right rear spring. Just a question, nothing major. It all adds up to good traction i know. The more you have, the more it will matter. Any other "tricks" for weight transfer or traction that you may be using? Thanks for your time, hope i did not waste any of it.

So you are saying you drive your car with drag shocks in the snow? Sounds like an accident waiting to happen.

No, i did not say that at all. I really meant to say drag springs b/c you can not have an air bag in a shock, now can you. Sorry for the mixup! I have KYB's. I do not even drive my car in the rain let alone the snow! I have a beater car. In the 4 yrs i have owned my car i have put on almost 20k miles, not just yet! I am just looking at the different advantages to having the battery relocated, thats all. Thanks for the reply!

the more weight in the back the more traction...

i never relocated my battery in the trunk but i sure its a good idea take some weight of the front and put it in the back..

i usually run at the track with at least a half tank of gas.. it seems to get more bite..
