How to Put More Weight on the Front of My Front-Wheel Drive Car

A number of different modifications can be made to a front-wheel-drive vehicle to make it heavier up front.

Added weight on the front end of a front-wheel-drive car will allow the car to have more traction on the road and perform better in inclement conditions such as a snowstorm. If there is not enough weight on the front of your front-wheel-drive automobile, there are a number of different ways to add it.

Things You'll Need

• Grille guard
• New headlights
• Engine additions
• Speaker system
• Weights

Instructions

1. Add components to the engine of the front-wheel-drive car to give it more power, which will add weight to the front of the car under the hood.

2. Install extra headlights and a grille guard. These accessories will not only make your front-wheel-drive automobile stand out but also will make it safer to drive with brighter headlights and protection for the nose of the car.

3. Install new speakers in the front half of the car. Place a subwoofer under the middle console in the front of the car, and larger and heavier speakers in the doors.

4. Place weights from a workout system under the front seats. This will simply add weight and stay out of the way of passengers or the driver while the car is moving. The best thing about this weight addition is that it is easy to remove from the car if you want to lighten it.

Tips & Warnings

• When doing major installations in the car just to add weight, determine whether you are going to want these installations for years to come, as they won't be easy to remove.
