i could not wait. i pulled the front out.

megan front 12.7
megan rear 9.0
apexi N1 front 11.4
apexi N1 rear 8.2

springs are also a different length. so im gonna guess the weight is in the spring because both front and back coilover are exactly the same.

Going to start lightening up the rear sub frame today. One thing I noticed between the 3 that I have is they all weigh a different amount. The lightest one of course is the one im replacing at 21.7 lbs. The one im modding is 22.2 and the other one is 22.4. Let's see what I can do

i have totally lost my mind at this point.

started at 22.2lbs. im now at 21.5 i still have quite a bit to do too. the goal was 2.2lbs. i should be able to do that pretty easily.

as i was working on it my friend said. dude. you are totally crazy. i then said ''after thinking about it'' yea i know i dont know what is wrong with me.

monday is another day.

nothing yet. i didnt even take any while doing it. once it is done i will take some. is it worth 2.2lbs? thats up to you. me? yes. but im freaking crazy. overall though its coming out really well.

i bet i can get 4 lbs off it. but IMO that will really compromise the structure of the sub frame.

if we did not need the rear mustache bar then i bet 6+ would be dropped easy from the sub frame. maybe even more. i think the one i am not using i will cut up to the extreme to see what i can get out of it.
