Yeah adding more weight in the rear of an SC AW11 or moving stuff further back is a bad idea. They're twitchy enough as it is with all the extra weight of the SC unit and the e51 gearbox and lsd. Thats cause the AW11 was originally only designed to take the much lighter bigport 4AG and C50 gearbox. and none of the suspension was changed... they just bolted in the ZE and box and an extra 80-90kgs of weight.
Send it all front... (and keep your spare in). Extra weight in the front, pressuming you havent got rediculously hard front springs, is actually good for the cornering dynamics of an SC AW11. I.E. Means there is actually some weight in the front to transfer on turn-in... crisper, less understeer.
Take some pics of your job if you can, show us when you've finished.
