Moving weight to the places where you need it most while having as little effect on handling as possible can be more beneficial in some situations.

I have to disagree here. Coming from an S2K where weight reduction is crucial, I think one member put it best. He also happens to be one of the top S2000 drivers in the US.

I personally would take weight loss over weight balance any day. You can at least try to tune out uneven distribution through the suspension and tires. You can't tune out fat. |
