Front sway bar should be the first thing. Car will transfer weight so much better.

Re: Weight Reduction question

allright thanks colonel, Ii have seen your posts about weight reduction, I was also wondering how much weight do you think I can remove by replacing all of those suspension parts?

Re: Weight Reduction question

Depends on if you just replace stuff. By only replacing stuff (not removing anything that you don't replace) you're only looking at about 40-45 pounds.
