Miata is 50/50 the FRS 53/47 weight distribution. Say a turbo kit adds a total 75lbs. The miata weighs 2500 and say the fra 2700. We'll split the difference and say 2600lbs. That means about a 3% increase of weight up front. So the frs goes to a 56/44 ratio. So drop 2 pounds of unsprung weight off the front and now you're back to stock. Nevermind you add a set of coilovers and do some corner weighting.
