Dropped 55-60lbs worth of battery stuff & metal brackets for a 13lb battery. (-45lbs)
Dropped precats, stock Y, 1 heatshield & metal brackets for MSDS Headers & y-pipe (-40lbs)
A bunch of miscellaneous underhood parts (-5lbs or so)
There's atleast 90lbs off the front end.
Lost maybe 5-10lbs going from stock exhaust to custom exhaust and a couple more for miscellaneous parts and the aussie rear bar (10-15lbs more)
I feel I'm forgetting a few things???
I thought I had added it up to around 120lbs, but ~100+lbs is still great IMO. Also my weight distribution should be down to 60/40 or better. Another nice bonus for handling.
My goal at first was to be under 3000lbs. I'm now most likely under 2950lbs when I drop all the trunk related items & run at half a tank. Not too bad considering I have a sunroof (+40lbs)
However the ride height has come up at least an inch! No kidding! Comparing my car to Warmonger's with the BAT kit & SVT Focus rims (17") it looked like my ride height was 3-4" taller! I can fit my hand between the tires and the wheel well. Sideways!
