Is there a lightweight battery that keeps the cranking specs the same as stock? Seems like a decent drop in weight combined with an axelback (10-17 pounds removed).

Curious to know what the battery options are as well.

Ideally I'd be able to take 25lbs off the front of the car with a light battery and 25 from the rear with an exhaust.

Losing 50lbs. and moving the polar moment of inertia towards the centre of the car with minimal complexity and effort sounds like a winner.

I doubt the benefits will be any where close to being worth the effort.
