why? you are aware that the engine is heavier than an empty trunk
with a spare and when you brake the center of gravity moves towards
the front. it's not like the weight of the car is ever even while the
car is in motion.
with a car that doesnt have much torque to begin with, you would
counter the acceleration rear 'squat' by giving i some rake to put
more weight towards the front of the car where the driving wheels are.
at the end, the front needs to have higher spring rate.
