[QUOTE="Riddick, post: 15785918, member: 143188"] 1) Wheels, purchase a a set of rears and some skinnies for the front 2) Front Seats, if your car has powered seats you can prolly save around 75 pounds from swapping a nice set of seats in. If its a DD I highly recommend getting a reclineable seat, I ran the Corbeau RRX in my Cobra and they were the most comfortable seat I ever sat in. 3) K member, control arms, radiator support. You can prolly save close to 100 pounds if you do all of these at the same time. 4) Rear seat delete. Not sure on savings but id guess around 30-40 pounds. 5) Everything after this is going to cost you a lot of money, save a few pounds here and there, and start sacrificing driveability. It all comes down to how far you want to go. For a street car id personally stick to the first 2 items. I am not sure how these cars ride with K members but after I did a K member and control arms on my Cobra the car rode like crap. I also added some coilovers at the same time but the car drove like crap and handled poor as well. This was one of the main reasons I ended up selling it and moving to a coyote car. Turning your street car into a race car is cool at first but gets old fast if you drive it on the street. [/QUOTE]
