The opposite actually. You are the second person to think this today so I will clarify. The bias without the Driveway Labs rear diffuser was 32% (rear), 68% (front). With the Driveway Labs rear diffuser, it brings the balance closer to neutral, 49% (rear), 51% (front). A splitter that produces more downforce will need to be offset with something else in the rear to maintain an aerodynamic balance of ~50/50.
