I wouldn't worry too much about the weight distribution, there still tail happy either way, you could always have it done at CG If it bothers you that much, but I cant tell any difference at all.

Forgot to mention, loosing weight also helps with braking and cornering, should loose more weight when I fit my coilovers after crimbo too

Not too easy in the S though is it
I got to ~ 80kg reduction ....... before I went FI

I should still be ~ 50kg less than stock.

Lots of good threads available on how to reduce weight.

I guesstimate i would have lost around 30KG's.

How did you lose the weight other than have a turd?

I take it you removed some creature comforts like AC?

Anything around a loss 30-50 KGs is a good loss and will make a difference IMO

I didn't have to go that far .....

Brakes, suspension, battery, seats, exhaust, wheels, bonnet ......

All weigh less than stock.

Thats very good going.

Another great tip is running half tank, rather than full, as some times people forget how heavy fuel really is.

You can also go as far as running low on washer fluid etc like me, I know It sounds extreme but every little helps.
