The front and rear supports were 40 lbs according to the bathroom scale.

Re: how to get front supports off a TA? sounds good mark. zach was gonna show me how, but he looked at the TA and was like, hey, this isnt a camaro, i dont know how to do it on these
i already took about 150 off since last time if i can take the front support off, theres another 30 or so pounds.
im shooting for 11.4s with the heavy drivetrain.

I don't see how a TA would be much different than a Camaro, other than the headlights. I dunno maybe it's totally different.

Aren't the fog lights also attached to the support?

Re: how to get front supports off a TA? I believe the fog lights are attached, so you have to figure out a way to run those in another area, or just remove them...
If I removed my supports my car would be light, but as much as its daily driven I think twice about it, but if someone had detailed instructions, I would do it in a heart beat probably...
