Our best current guess is the car will gain 500lbs to 3200 lbs total w/o the driver. Most of the weight gain would be in front of the rear wheels under the rear seat with batteries.

We understand that we are changing the way the car will behave in emergency maneuvers, anyone want to hazard a guess as to whether it will be better or worse?
Next question, anyone have a nice calculator that will help us figure out the proper springs, struts and shocks? Our plan was to wait to EV completion and weigh the four corners again before finding suspension components.
