Guys, what do you think is lighter, the hotckis sways or stillen sway bars?? I know that hotchkis say that the sway bars are hollow and lightweight, but I some comments saying that the hotchkis sways bars are heavier than the stillen sway bars and stock sways

^^im not a big fan of hollow sways but i do believe it is lighter than both stock and stillen.

Hotchkis sways are much heavier than stock.

Thanks guys for the replies,

Here's something....CARBON

Seibon's carbon fiber doors for the 370z are out.

Don't know if it's wet carbon or dry carbon or really where to buy it (Probably costs $2000 as I know)... I just posted it cause it looks cool and contributes a little to weight loss. They're outside panels for the doors and yeah.....cooooool

:drool: I think I shat myself. Those are nice!!!! My guess is 800-900 a door

Here is your best solution...

These are single-handedly the best weight reduction you can make to these cars. The weight loss is both rotational and un-sprung. These rotors are the equivalent of removing about 200-220+ lbs of static weight from your car!! ;)

the stock doors are aluminum, so it would be near retarded to switch to carbon. switching glass would net a better savings

Definitely true, I'm pretty sure this doesn't save that much weight per door and it's not worth getting the doors just for weight savings...I've found out the door is wet carbon and that means you'll need to pay like $4,000 for an outcoming dry carbon version...These doors are really more for showing off carbon fiber or cause ur just crazy for carbon

FOB is 35 grams.

FOB without key is 21 grams.

So to shave 14 grams, drive without the key in it. :icon17:

Actually, I just saw a scale and wanted to contribute to the thread.

try remote mounting the key low and to the rear of the car - better cg
