Over the rear. If possible or in front or rear

Low just forward of rear axle works well.

So in the trunk over the rear end would be better than as far back and as high in trunk

Check out Kevin Wilson on YouTube. 1 of his videos talks about where and what weight placement does to a car. Very informative. Also he talks about shocks, 4 link, ladder bar set up for all kinds of racing.

Re: Question about adding weight.
 

There are lots of parameters to be considered such as the weight of the vehicle, wheelbase, class, type of suspension, horsepower, and other factors.

After spending time scaling different cars for Stock, Super Stock, Comp Eliminator, Top Sportsman, and other classes putting the weight forward of the rear end is the best compromise and maintaining 52% to 54% of the weight in the nose.

How many of them had a four link.

Re: Question about adding weight.
 

All the Comp cars, and some of the Super Stockers had 4-Link.
The Stockers, and some of the Super Stockers had Calvert suspension.
Have never touched a ladder bar car.

You can add a certain Stock class section on your list: Factory Stock.
Upper control arms are adjustable (heim joints). Upper control arms brackets at the frame have 2 positions to add tuning. Lower control arms have bushed ends and only one hole on both brackets (frame and housing). But, I don’t see any rules regarding the holes position on those, neither rules regarding certain dimensions for those brackets. Also, I don’t see any rules regarding the length of those control arms.
