It won't bolt, and no, it shouldn't effect the handling that much... the weight difference isn't that great.

From what I have read its alot of work for what you are getting out of it power wise. You would need custom motor mounts and I think a custom oil pan (not sure about the oil pan) and other miscellaneous stuff.

Dont worry about the 50/50 weight distribution. Anytime you mod the car you could be changing the weight already and that would throw of the distribution. (example aftermarket exhausts are usually lighter than stock or if you remove emissions equipment from the engine bay.)

I wanted to do this too. REW or RE. Is the RE easier to swap in than the REW?
