weight reduction

Many people it seems strip out the interior to save weight, but will this not be detrimental to the handling? OK overall reducing weight will help for acceleration and braking. But with the majority of the mass being removed from the rear ie spare wheel, rear seats, and being a front wheel drive car will this not mean it will understeer, and the rears likely to lock up?
