Belsavis: Yeah I'm using lighter lugs already, and the 2pc brake rotors are on the way, should be here late next week I think. I guess the timing is good, I can go crazy and kill whatever's left in my current rotors + pads this weekend at the bmw event and then swap in the new setup next week for a fresh start.

In the case of the available body parts and things like the Ti strut braces and exhausts, it's just not worth the $$ to me for the small weight drops. What I was hoping I would find from vendors in this thread was that they had reasonably-priced FRP (or similar) body parts that were significantly lighter than stock, but with the thin aluminum on our cars that doesn't seem realistic.

I will go ahead and close this thread, since it was so far off track already. I thought it would just die naturally, but here we are
