I wouldn't get too worried about the balance. I mean, I try to keep balance in mind, but I've definitely dropped a lot more weight from the rear than the front in the net, seeing as I've probably added front weight with things like my add-on coolers, the G3 intakes, the oilpan, the z-speed tray, etc. Whereas the rear of my car is completely stripped to the metal at this point in the interior, there's nothing aft of the seats but the airbag controller box, minimal wiring (I removed all unnecc harness wiring), and my relocated battery.

Car still handles fine with a mostly-full tank of gas (required on track until a fuel starve fix is commercially available), and my rear swaybar is still set to full stiff (if the rear got so light as to make the rear too skippy, I could soften the rear sway setting to offset a bit). I'll be more worried about balance once I can run lower on gas w/ phunk's upcoming fuel surge fixup.
