What is the issue with the minimal weight difference removed from the rear - percentage wise its not even 2%? Won't it just make the car turn in better or

It's very minute.. especially weight lower than center..

There are a lot on this board focused on weight savings as if this was a track car, when most will make a virtually unnoticeable difference. More theory than anything.
