what more can i do for a lighter front end?
I`m trying to lighten up the front end to balance the car a bit better, and so far I have done the KC machines battery kit with the Shorai battery. That alone was a huge improvement in terms of feel of the car. I was quite impressed from the amount of difference it made, despite the position of the battery being so close to the center of the car.
things already done:
tomei UEL header (-5lbs)
tomei overpipe (-1lb)
Shorai battery kit (-22.75lbs)
intake snorkel and some other stuff (maybe a -1lb)
to-do list:
Beatrush bumper beam ( i believe it`s -5 lbs)
APR brake ducts (gets rid of the fog lights.. no idea how much those weigh)
drain or get rid of washer fluid tank (no idea how much it weighs..)
things that will add/have added weight:
STI front lip (probably 2-3lbs)
oil cooler (no idea how much it would weigh)
other ideas I have are brake kits that lose weight like the AP racing front kit (Sprint kit is 20lbs, Endurance kit 10lbs)...
Wheels will help, but that is an overall weight loss rather than just the front end. At the end of the day, overall weight loss is more important than the balance, but just trying to see what I can do with the front end of the car first...
