[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 14717683, member: 20202"] As you can surmise there's a bit more to this story to tell and the best one is yet to come and it gunna happen soon! This kind of work is always a "give & take" adding weigh which you are contently trying to combat at the same time. The end result is I removed weight in one place and moved it somewhere else which in my case has the CG been moved "down' and "back" right where you need it. I think in the end my car will weigh close to the stock weigh perhaps a little more but the balance will be much better. I scraped off every ounce of body sealer and dynamat the factory applied to this chassis as it's not needed or wanted in this car. I'd say about 10-25 lbs of the stuff. A few guys lined their entire interior with dynamt which I found horrifying. Modifying the IRS to stiffen the backhalf (which the IRS sub-frame is basically and mini-backhalved chassis) won't make a lot of sense unless you address the rest of the chassis .............. that's where the big "rub" comes in. Once you start looking at the sheet metal unit construction of the SN95 it starts to get a little scary, it's not much as as a fox though now I know why they are so light. [/QUOTE]
