dont' forget to mention the motion ratio on a civic suspension, 14K civic is like 10K yaris.. rough guess of course.

honestly my car rotates just fine with everything in the rear removed. getting weight out of the car at all does a lot to the handling, and remember that you're removing weight from the "rear-center" of the car anyway, it's not like the rear seats are BEHIND the rear axle.

with everything removed from my car the weight shift went from 60/40 to 61/39. not really that big of a deal, and it was over 250lbs of crap :)
