I herd that the ls1 conversion is about +40kg in the front over a 951 i would say part of the 75kg differnce is that its perhaps he's takjen a bit more out of the rear than the front ..lexan hatch+ rear seat? FG roof
my new turbo is at least double the weight of the standard one and my intercooler would have to be triple the weight of the standard one

Here are my weights for comparison:
Front left = 820 Front right = 796
Rear left = 692 Rear right = 672
Track car - but nothing too fancy.
And here's a stock car (MM951's car)
Front left = 852 Front right = 828
Rear left = 764 Rear right = 740
Front left = 820 Front right = 796
Rear left = 692 Rear right = 672

Im trying to find my old pictures of my cornerweights, I had 51% on some axle, right now I just cant remember which, 2667 lbs total with 1/4 tank of gas
my numbers are sans driver, I'm about 215lbs.

That is really useful information. Thank you. My car was measured without any load. Do you know how the drivers weight is distributed on front and rear axle?

remember that my last 65 lbs isn't fat I can shake you like a toy, so you will be dizzy and can't drive more.. 
in all fairness, there are a few different specs, my car is an 86, so no equipment to start with, same with ksira
my car, over his also is stripped out 100%, I have new frontlights, will add a fibeglass hood, lexan windows etc, also thinking about putting battery in the boot, to get more weight up back, will do this when I corner weigh, and put on a new suspension (once I decide)

What offset does this let you run front/rear? Does it allow for you to swap front/rear is basically what I'm asking. Or is that even a concern to extend the tire life for some who may be on a budget. Obviously if you're doing 315 square, you could dismount them ect, but that can be a hassle sometimes.

The rear uses a 1" factory 930 spacer.
The front uses a 5/8" spacer.
That allows me to move the tires around w/o having to dismount them.
The rims are 9x17 Cup 2 55mm offset wheels that have been widened 2" on the inside. So with a 1" spacer, the offset of the wheel is not changed. With the 5/8" spacer the negative offset is slightly increased.
Anyway... that's the setup that works.
So to answer your question... all 4 of the wheels are exactly the same.
