That's the plan and was in one of my prior posts. The car is pretty neutral now in the corners. I do plan on yanking the rear sway completely but realize that I might have to add spring to keep the car neutral.

These are the same rates that Brian Peters is currently running. I'm not going to argue with the guy that won a national championship in the "wrong car."

However, I'm always open to feedback. You probably have more knowledge when it comes to building a Z for autoX... Than anyone. Keep it coming!

Yes. 3134 with half a tank of gas... Of course add about 40-50lbs for additional gas that I'll need. However, this was with the heavy mustang wheels on the car... So subtract 32+ lbs for when I'm using the TSW's.

I'll post some target weight info with info on other parts and their weights as well... Soon.
