start by reading this .corner weight evenly as near as possible distributes the weight in your car to each corner (shock absorber)it is done by altering the spring heights.doing this makes your car handle better but must be done with you in drivers seat or equivalent weight

For road use, no.
It's late the wine is working, and something that I have been thinking about for a while, when designing and building a s/seater the sprung/unsprung weight is equal across the car but different f/r split.
Now on any car raced (7 type or anything less than central seated) each corner will carry different sprung/unsprung weight, so, why not use different spring lbs/in (or alter bell cranks to suit).
Then the fequency at each corner would be equal r/r f/f. Anyone tried this?
