[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16446309, member: 188865"] 1) Ditch resonators and cats. This is probably the cheapest weight reduction. The longtubes you swap out will be marginally lighter than the bulky shorties. 2) Wheels. This one is most beneficial because you're reducing unsprung weight. If you go with a quality lightweight wheel like signature, you can reduce 10+ lbs on each corner. It's an expensive reduction however. 3) Rear seat delete. Fairly inexpensive, but obviously takes away any functionality of the rear seats. 4) Carbon fiber panels/parts. Hood (off the front) fenders, panels, trunk deck etc. Also very expensive. 5) K member. Again, very expensive and not going to yield all that much weight savings. This also helps with clearance and access underneath. 6) Carbon Ceramic Brake package. Wildly expensive. Again, unsprung weight savings so lb for lb has more effect. From there it all gets very expensive. You can redistribute the weight a bit with a battery relocation. [/QUOTE]
