There is a small margin for error though.
Saddles/Forward motor F 42.3%, R 57.5% (1570 grams)
Shorty rear/Forward motor F42.8%, R57.1% (1540 grams)
Shorty rear with 40g under weight/Forward motor F41.9%, R 58.1% (1580 grams)
I thought the shorty with weight would be a bigger difference, not much more than 0.5%
I think I will give the low grip setup a try first which may suit me better to start, as I'm new to this type of layout.
I would suggest trying the shorty lipo forward, rather than in the rear position like you have it. For outdoor racing I run my shocks furtherest in on the towers all round, then when racing indoors I stand them up 2x holes all round to get some agility back.

What tyres also? You could go to cut staggers if you're only running staggers and as suggested above, increase the anti-squat if you'd like the car to rotate a little more.
