Not quite right, IMO the lower the polar moment the better, not only will it change directions more quickly, but it will also recover more quickly. A car with a high PMoI may "stay in control" longer, but once you loose it, it will be much more difficult to recover. Not to mention the entry understeer and exit oversteer that comes with it. If you're not trying to change F/R weight dist. , put it low and in the center of the car.
As far as weight dist. , around 55% rear (like the Boxster) is generally considered ideal, 60% rear like the 911 is too much, and can lead to quirky handling issues. This is assuming there's no odd rules in place regarding staggered tire sizes.
