Suggestions to adjust the drop center slightly with less janky solutions?

How are a ballast and the center drop related?
It would be helpful if you could describe what you didn't like about the movement of the robot with the ballast compared to before it was added.
We ran a 5/16" drop this year, which is one of the larger drops I have ever seen, and have no issues @114 pounds + battery and bumpers.
