battery relocate/ weight reduction/

i just relocated my battery on my 88' s/c Mr.2.

What i wanna know is if there Are any non believers. The relocation seems to balance out the car nicely, the difference was getting that weight from the battery down where it belongs instead of top heavy in the reAR i love that idea. I believe my braking is better and the ride should be alil smoother considering there is more weight on the front suspension. I understand the fact that this will take alil time to get used to but the steering wheel feedback has changed to something that makes me miss a lil of how the handling was before. On a windy road i like to lay back and let the wheel somewhat slip through my hands while i run my line, if you know what i mean. i find this style very rewarding and i never beat on my ride mr.2 gets the smoothest input from me. Since i relocated my battery i feel The wheel seems to have more feedback, resistance ( heavier front end result).
while it has improved it doesn't feel like mr.2 anymore.
i wanna know how other people feel about this modification.

i also have a s/t front sway bar no bar in rear, but removed front impact bumper which balanced out the under steer from the sway bar.
when the bumper came off i had better acceleration and less under steer which i like. battery was moved after bumper changes.

I am excited with the changes. i think some shocks and a rear sway bar will complete this car, im gonna aim for some adjustable shocks.
I don't believe i have the desire to lower this car anymore although i love the look and wanna fit some 15's in that wheel well with the new closer wheel gap. mY reasons? the ride quality and the clearance on the after market body kit bumper.
I also plan on installing these poly eurethane bushings soon so i dont think i will agree with the type of ride i will get when those bushings and springs are working together.
