Don't even try it... The rear will jump up and waist the underside of the car...

I figured there had to be a catch,
some guy down here was swearing that it doesnt need a torque arm, that cars use to not have it, ect. ect. "weight reduction"

reminds me of mustang owners back in the day talking about taking off the front sway bar,the way they talked about it you'd think it would cut 2 seconds off you 1/4 mile time.

I just took off my front sway bar, I still have the stock sway in the rear.
Im about to put on the rear a set of 50/50 drag shocks.
Anyone ever just remove the front springs completely?
I am thinking of experimenting wit that just wondering if any of you guys have.

naw I still want to keep a full interior, just looking for some hidden things.
I already know about a/c heat, I was trying to find some suspension parts or useless things that I can remove.

Front and rear bumper inserts. Start cutting brackets and random crap that looks like you wouldnt need. Not suspension components lol

I found it hard to find a lot of weight reduction... Even the front inner bumper only weighed 18lb... But, it does add up. Maybe look how you can add some more HP !!!
My car still weighs around 3600lb with me in it... I'm in the high 10's !!!
