I beleive adding weight is not the answer to make a super handle better. Relocate the battery into the trunk area, keep the spare, concentrate on the weight reduction on the rear as much as possible (I'll be keeping the stock steel fenders in front, and the stock german steel front hood, as well as a steel front bumper, and run carbon or f/g in the rear, as well as the rear three windows lexan). If 50/50 weight biasing is not attainable proper spring rates front:rear will help. From what I've read it's a little hoaky to use the 944 strut, plus the spring rate is way too stiff for the front of a super, Maxx or Kersher is the ticket. You keep ignoring one of Porsche's greatest handling cars of all time, the 914. I think it was Nurdingberg(?) 1970 three 914-6's competed and 2 finished first and second in their class and one finished 3 overall, don't quote me on that.
Believe me when I say a properly setup 1302/1303 will stick to the road like none other and a little rear bias is always fun when you want to have fun and induce some oversteer. I've seen stars from pulling G's in my 1302, and I can't wait till I have a healthier power plant so that I can use some more of the chassis's capabilities.
