This rule would make it very difficult for older 911s and already prepared cars since most of us already have more than 30 lbs added to make weight.

Final verbiage please.

I've seen mounts made out of lead filled pipe with the bottom half of the cooler filled with lead. Easily 60-100lbs right there that should be "free"
I suspect the struts would frown on this because lead is clearly ballast.
