I ran with the spare and jack, because its under a sub box made of 5/8 MDF with two 10 inch JL subs.
We will do it again next spring, but earlier in the year to avoid the heat.

Actual Weight of my car with corner #'s, cross percentages, etc.
Total Vehicle Weight: 3742 lbs (with driver and 1/2 tank of fuel)
Left Front Weight: 1053 lbs
Right Front Weight: 982 lbs
Total front weight: 2035 lbs or 54.38%
Left Rear Weight: 867 lbs
Right Rear Weight: 840 lbs
Total rear weight: 1707 lbs or 45.62%
Left percentage weight: 51.31% (1920 lbs)
Right percentage weight: 48.69% (1822 lbs)
Left front/Right rear cross percentage: 50.59% (1893 lbs)
Right front/Left rear cross percentage: 49.41% (1849 lbs)
So, as you can see by the stats above, my car is not very well balanced at all...and that is a project on it's own.
