Decent weight reducing body parts?

FL 4Motion

My first thought based on the thread title was "just chop off your left arm"

Seriously though, the easiest way to drop weight is thru the exhaust components. FI claims 16lbs reduction by replacing the oem manifold and cats with LTH and a 17lbs reduction by replacing the CBE so that's pretty significant. I'm sure other aftermarket exhaust setups are pretty similar in weight savings too.

Not to be snarky, but the point of the thread was to ask about whether weight reducing body parts are available/feasible. As I've already pointed out repeatedly to other snarky responders, I've already gone through the rest and I'm well aware of their effects, and well on my way through getting them done where applicable...

Someone's feeling a bit sensitive...

Just pointing out what should be obvious. The thread has a title and a pretty clear set of objectives. Only one person actually responded with some factual information on the topic at hand, the rest is just ******** "question the questioner's motives and reasoning" crap (which I wouldn't mind so much if I didn't have to go back and point out what should be obvious from my journal thread, or even from the rest of this thread).

yah, the obvious is you apparently have tunnel vision and you do not realize that your objective and application is out of focus from the beginning... you should appreciate people taking the time to post valuable comments for you to understand what you're doing from 3rd person's view.

...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.

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.

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.
