Its not too much when you remove the A/C.  Since the battery is in the 
back, the weight distribution is much better than a 4kq, so it really 
starts to feel like it pivots around the driver instead of the front 
wheels....its an interesting feeling that really takes some getting used 
to.

I wont make a judgement as to which i like better for handling only until 
i get the coilovers on the UrQ.  But one thing i can say is that even 
with the stock springs and a VERY elevated rideheight due to the AC 
removal, the handling is still very satisfying...and there arent too many 
stock cars that i can say that about after driving my go kart 4kq....

later...
