Want to reduce weight need ideas

Mino

Hey guys I'm planning on tracking my car I just got it a month ago. From my experience I have learned that weight, tires, brakes and suspension is the best first mods if you are going to be in a autoX. The power of our car is enough stock but from what I have been seeing these cars is that under heavy braking the rear end feels very light, the front downforce is nice but the rear end has some issues. I want to reduce some weight from the front if possible and rear also but mostly front to get as close to the magic 50/50. And maybe a nice diffuser for the rear to help with that rear downforce anyone know any good ones? I really don't want to get a huge wing in the back I love the oem sport versions' look. Could you guys help me with some advice on what I can do please.


Thank you.

Do you care about classing? You will quickly find yourself non competitve if you make wrong mods. Almost any level of weight reduction will put you into ASP or SSM or worse XP

Down force isn't an issue with our cars in AX and would be last thing I'd go after. Plus your limited on what you can do by class. You going to get a lot more from tire, LSD and suspension work.

You can drop decent amount off front with ASP class legal mods. You can put lightweight flywheel and clutch on, put lightweight aluminum hat brake rotors, lighter wheels, if you are willing to lose AC you can pull it legally in that class as well. No interior can go however

This would be my priority

Get biggest class legal 18" wheel with biggest Hoosier a6 under your car, then upgrade LSD something better than stock, then start working on suspension. Then start looking at weight reduction.
