Default Battery to the back...Drivers side??

Anyone ever done this? Ussualy it is mounted in the spare tire space, but when my car launches it squats on the rear PS tire. And when comparing the two rear m/t's, it seems like the DS was wearing faster. This was before I removed the sway bars. Now that the SB's are gone, it squats even more on the PS. Would moving the battery to the DS counter this so I can launch better?

No. The PS always gets less traction over the DS. You need a anti-roll bar or at least an airbag in the PS rear. But if you're going to relocate the battery put it on the PS.

Sounds like you need a drag bar on the rear.

it won't help on the ds
as the ring and pinion turn it trys to rotate the axle and actually forces the drives side into the ground and tries to lift the pass side.
a drag bar is the best way to fight this issue
