I would say a circuit with many corners is to your advantage, my reason being that you won't need all out top speed as much..
However you are right to try and balance the weight out a bit. Would you put the battery behind the fuel cell (ie where the metal tank would have been?)..
I would say the kerscher coil over front struts are the best you are going to get for your bug, and that goes for the rears too.
I would have thought that a fairly basic vented disk up front and a basic disk out back would do the job. Remember you are going for function over form. There is no need to have huge disks, just make sure they keep cool enough and are correctly balanced, predicatable and reliable.
You might want to think about aero-dymamics too. I don't know what kind of modifications you are allowed to do, but think about a rear wing, a front airdam, smooth underside etc..
Good luck with your development/racing and keep us posted!
