If you move 50 to 100 lbs off the front and to the back put the car back at the original ride height. Sometimes moving weight to the rear resets your rear suspension as well as making the rear % more. What is really helping the car be quicker or slower?? Weight bias or suspension change??? Was the car too high in the rear to begin with?
Adger, you are right. In my case, I have 2 extra sets of rear coils to adjust ride height for a particular class/weight. It doesnt seem to mind exactly where it sits though. The 60's seem to stay close.....
