Edit: To explain further cause what I said was confusing. The rear of my car last time it was weighed was 1775lbs. Taking 40lbs would be a 2.25% change to the rear.

It would change my car from being 52/48 distribution to 52.6/47.4

I didn't mean it changes the weight distribution by 2.25%.
I've been setting up cars for 30 years now. Between camber and shock settings just about any car can be setup the way you want it. I really find it interesting how some people post about weight distribution concerns.

I've taken 60 lbs out between the two axles and the other 40 behind the rear. I'll be mounting the Essex 9660 kit up front taking 20 more lbs off the front axle then running 18x10" rims (also lighter than a 19" staggered setup) I'll be running 3.5-3.7 neg camber on my BFG R1's (275/35/18 sq)and about 2.9-3.0 on my street tires (RE71R's)265/35/19 & 285/35/19 on stock rims. This will be on a TC Kline SA/DA Coil over setup with 400/700 spg rates.

Last, I'll dial everything in using a internal probe tire pyrometer and my AIM SOLO DL.
