Really? I didn't know subframe connectors and a torque arm weighed that much.

I don't remember adding more than 30lbs of metal to my notchback, and I can't recall it ever bending in half, even with more than 120 track days on it.

He who laughs last...
Anyway, i'm not here to impress anyone. With the internet everyone is pretty jaded on horsepower figures anyway. If it's not making 500-600hp, people just don't get impressed. Nevermind that the majority of said people are puttin around in sub-300 cars.

Pffft. My issue is tune related. After I get it down, then it'll be an issue of driver mod.

Exactly. Even more if you get rid of the now useless stock a-arms for some tubular MM ones. Total loss almost 40 pounds. :rockon:

Vince, you don't need a kidney belt with coilovers. Jayzus. :no: if you choose wisely, the ride quality is 1000x better than stock. Mine are smooth as butter and completely silent. Sorry to hear you're having issues with yours. :look:
