This doesn't make any sense. 50/50 is ideal. If you have 57/43 under braking you'll have 75/25 (est) and push off the track.
I can't understand why people think that heavy is good in the front. There's more to handling than just weight, but 50/50 is ideal and not so you feel it turns in better under braking and more weight being thrown up front.

thanks EnthuZ!
But that was before my Unitech/Truechoice/Koni coilovers.......

It all lies in the suspension. You can only do so much with weight distribution before you have to add ballast weight, which is counter-productive to the weight shaving process. Weight TRANSFER is more important.
