Well,
Considering that almost all the weight is in the rear of a type one to begin with, any loss of weight in the front could result in uncontrolled freeway wheelies (can anyone say SB?lol). Not good, especially the ones involving oncoming traffic. The type one is already very light weight for a car.
Simply working on the the things that make her go, turn, and stop better is what I would work on. If not beefing somethings up even more!
