Default Battery relocation kit....advantage???

I was lookin at a battery relocation kit for my lude (to the trunk.)

What is the advantage here, weight distribution??? I assume what it supposed to accomplish is bringing your car closer to 50/50 weight distribution.

Which will obviously never happen because everything is up front (motor tranny etc.)

Anyone have this done, does it make any significant difference?

its nice to have..but I think you lose alot of wattage going from the back to the front. But I like where mine is in the trunk

people say better weight disctibution. I'll be moving mine to my trunk because my air-liquid intercooler will be occupying the space that the battery's in now.

I moved mine to the trunk for weight distrabution, but had to move it back to meet the Honda Challenge rules, so what I did instead was bought this battery... http://www.gotbatteries.com/Productp...On04=&AddOn05=

Its 13.5 lbs, and you can mount it anyway, upside down, sideways..... Anyways, mine is on its side in the factory battery spot, saved 35+lbs of the front of the car, is smaller so its easier to work on stuff, and starts it everytime, so far even when its been freezing out...
