Message	worried about losing the awesome weight ratio FD's have...I heard somewhere that you can feel quite a difference between a 13B FD and an LSX FD...The 13B FD being a better balanced car. I don't know if I'd ever go for the LSX swap on mine, but it's definitely a great choice and one of the best in trying to keep the weight ratio. Hope to hear more about your project...Good luck!
