Default ways to make the **** box more balanced


I spun out my EF Civic for the umpteenth time and kissed the guardrail. I have the Type R swap, imaking the front end heavier- s there a way to strategically place weight at the rear of the car to create better balance, in lieu of a couple of bags of quickcrete? The rear seems really light and likes to swing all the way around. What do the SCCA guys do to balance their EFs?

They make a asr plate for the EF? and aftermarket lower control arms wouldnt help since they are lighter, not by much but that wouldnt help him.
