Message	Removing weight off of the rear of the car is 1. ill advised and 2. will have a poor impact on handling. Frankly I find talk of "weight reduction" in anything less then a fully gutted (and I mean rolling chassis) metal car to be a waste of time. effort and pretty much in the same stature as "hp per liter" statements.
