that is not how it works...
you're thinking about at a very basic level of mass being supported in space
weight distribution is by and large static, you can tip the car forward/backward/side/skew using adjustable springs but there is a practical limit to this.
a spring's function is multi-dimensional... i'll try to fish out a detailed explanation (since keener minds have already done this),
