You could mount it right before the ground this will not change the location and effects on balance. So again nothing changes that weight is not only added but so is coolant and pressure piping all adding weight and not equally. It also doesn't change where it's added and how that effects more than just the CG but also the balance, here is a simple way to think of this, was a sea-saw all that much fun with a kid 2-3 times your weight when you were in grade school?

Things may seem nice in theory but this idea that the lower it's mounted makes more difference than the weight that's added and where it is added is nothing more than foolish. A more forward mounted lower Boxter vs a more rear mounted 60lbs more LS has a lot more to consider than look one's lower! Look one's also slower, has less power and is harder to get parts for, was any of that valid in the argument?
