Why can't the Evolution be rear wheel bias?

"In light of the factors described above, it was determined that the base front/rear ratio should be 50:50 (optimizes running performance and stability) and that directional response should be maximized by control of the center differential differential-limiting action."

The 50/50 split of the Evo is not a limitation, but a conscious design choice by . It gives you the best possible traction, and the ACD moves the split around that base line to achieve better turning response.

now you can get a different ACD ECU. But I'm not sure if that ACD ECU will work with the USDM 05 evos or not

get a spool for the center diff and you'll have constant 50/50 split. not good for daily street driving though.
