On the front sway bar. I took the sway bar off but I left the brakets on the car.. Because on the driver side it looked like theone bracket was covering/hiding a hose of some sort. I knowit said 14 pounds with front sway bar and brackets How much does a sway bar the the end bolts that old it near the front tires weight.
If I take the brackets off will that hose be fine without that bracket protecting it on the driver side..
What will I benifit from taking the front sway bar off..Thanks Jimmy.

I dont road race at all.. I like getting to point a to point b as fast as possiable. So It will be fine to take the brackets off. So next time Iam under there I will take them off.

You talking about the one that goes to the air box lid. If so the hose isn't that big that looks like the bracket is covering it.. When I put my LT's on my car Iam taking all the air stuff of my car because. I got the race style headers. How hard is it to take all that stuff of my car..

What is the weight on the brackets concerning the rear seats? Metal brackets on the floor and on the tops of the inner fenders where the belts and seat hook to? I already removed the ones off the floor simply so they dont poke through the carpet.
I see many weights offered for the Leather F body seats... are there Definite weights for the driver and passenger TRANS AM seats with full power, lumbar etc?

Here's another one for the list...
Weld RT-S 15x4 w/ M/T 26 inch S/R radial
30.5-31 pounds per rim/tire combo
I can honestly say these are a great deal, 15x4s for $225 each. They look great!
