Soravia · 06-15-2012, 11:54 AM

Thanks! I like this stuff. What about the Airbags, steel trunk, drive shaft, and OEM exhaust pieces?

We're almost done with our custom mount for it. It's going to be a slick, lightweight little aluminum unit.

True dat.. I 'only' have a Deka going in mine..

The 17 inch oem tire is listed on Tire Rack at 20 pounds. If the stock wheel/tire combo is 41.4 pounds, then we're looking at approximately 21.4 pound wheels!

Stock wheel = 21.4 pounds?

Can anyone confirm...that is something than can be improved upon tremendously...

Hope to see more weigh ins of the car and thanks for posting JRitt.

Matador · 06-16-2012, 12:43 PM

I would have expected the seats to have been lighter. Damn.

Good stuff so far guys.

21.4 x 4 =85.6 almost 86 lbs... Damn! So close

Has anyone managed to weigh the stock suspension yet?
My set of RS*R coilovers has a shipping weight of approx 30kg including packaging. Just curious what OEM weight is. I'll only be swapping mine out in about 2 weeks so I can post if no one else does. In the mean time it'd be much appreciated if someone beats me to it
