When I would watch my 911 get lifted on a 4-point lift, I always wondered if they were conscientious about how much of the car's weight was behind the rear wheels. It was so unbalanced that if you wanted to change a front wheel, you could lift at the rear wheel jack point and both would come off the ground.

It's time to make a couple of small adjustments to get the trend heading the other way.
