I put 10% of curb weight(360 lbs., 6 bags of 60 lbs) in my trunk, so now I know what it's like to drive a 2-ton Cadillac CTS or a Camaro, I'm telling you this is awful ! I kid, I kid...

But I usually have a 57/43 f/r weight distribution, since I added 10% to the back I should now have a 47/53 f/r weight distribution(corrected figure with added weight), so I'm like a Maserati Quattroporte or a Porsche 911.

It feels like it rides a tad smoother though the steering is a touch lighter, looks like a put a lowering kit on it(the smallest of wheel gaps), so anyways... From what I've read this will help alot in snow, is this a good amount ?

Though it isn't "squatting" too extremely.

1 1/2 fingers gap for the back wheel gap. (used to be 2)

3 fingers gap for the front wheel gap.(used to be 2 1/2)
