I hate them on the road!
If I was weight saving on a road car I'd start on wheels and brakes.

I'd say you might even be better off putting some weight back up front until you manage to lose some of your butt first

.understeer-tastic, front end lift, etc etc
I'm sure I'm probably wrong though, that's just what I've gleaned from my own experiences on track is all..
.and we all know how subjective it can be trying to
"feel" the differences that tweaks you have made yourself can be when driving.
Even with roll bar and camber tweaks I struggled to regain decent front end grip without having to compromise rear end grip, I put it down to not having enough weight at the front relative to the rear(and not being able to go past
-3 degrees of
-'ve camber with my set up).
