The thing is, the comments weren't really that valuable to me. I took the time to answer your questions, but I was already well aware of all the other ways to reduce weight that we have available. What I wanted out of this thread was for body parts mfgs to speak up about whether their products dropped any significant weight, or whether that was even feasible. One did respond, and I'll take silence on the rest as meaningful.

...and if i really wanted to put snark in my comment, which i didnt, i wouldve stated that i gained more total weight savings without really trying from my wheel/tire setup than you did with all your unsprung and spurng combinations.

I never understood your comment above, your weight post seems to indicate you're equating 6lbs per corner on wheels and tires w/ 100lbs of weight drop? Is this based on some equivalence calculation? My 105 number is raw, as in, that's how much total weight I've dropped from the car, sprung/unsprung/rolling etc just tallied up in a simple sum.
