    you have a ton of suspension parts under it too...I would have configured it completely different...

    not dissin you at all...I just do stuff my way...Im shooting for under 3000 lbs...

    right now my car has few creature comforts...but I wanted a race like car that is street driven

    theres so much to this topic...brakes for example...if you could take 500 lbs out of the car

    now tell me Fox brakes are inadequate...just simple physics...theyre still junk btw...

    but the car stops better & accelerates better...Ive probably taken 160 lbs out so far..maybe more

    even the steering wheel with the air bag weighs a ton

    the fan & clutch on the motor weighs a ton

    the seats are heavy...lots of comfy lighter ones

    I could have used the 3G alt...but the stock one did the job...its a lot lighter & the motor likely turns it easier too

    I ditched the AC too...all the under padding is gone from everywhere...it has no roll cage...(Im on the street)

    steel brackets for the accessories are drilled out aluminum extrusions instead of heavy steel pieces...etc
