DH (w/HP) Owners with Superchargers Installed: who has done stiffer front springs?

[mks]

Just trying to keep up with proposed solutions...please mod, add or subtract at will.

1. A legit front spring set designed to support the added weight of Whipple SC on S650s (all variants)
2. Coilover conversion kit, a al AJ Hartman’s S550 Kit (also heard Ground Control makes something in that fashion) for S650
3. Edit: Strut mount Spacers e.g., Steeda’s kit combined with Steeda's dual rate springs (caveat: not sure the shim kit is compatible with the adj strut mounts included in the 67P handling pack)
4. Note: there are polyurethane or rubber coil spring spacers/isolators, but I don't think these are something I’d even try
5. The great weight shift: moving battery (44.9lbs!) to trunk, replacing OEM metal bumper w/a lighter weight version (again, another Steeda product), and any other "fat" under the hood
6. MagneRide-compatible or MagneRide-delete Adjustable Coilover Kit
7. Create a stock portfolio design to produce enough monthly (weekly?!?) dividends to afford replacement front splitter for the rest of the life of your S650

Why are you afraid of poly or rubber spring spacers?

Perhaps I should not be, but they remind of the shipping spaces that the dealer left in my DH...about 100 miles before I "felt" the front was behaving oddly. After as many mustangs as I've owned, I should have looked before taking possession.

Battery is only 30lbs

Closer to 50...

Replacing front splitters sounds like a poor investment!

The BAGM-48H6-760, factory installed batt in my DH, is 44.9lbs--not an insignificant amount of weight. Relocating that might be a pretty good start. I've never done a relocation, any one kit / process better than any other?

I was just going by the what things weigh thread for the S550, people weighed the battery at 31lbs. The new AGM's must be way heavier.
