Message	I wouldn't be surprised if you shave off 20-30 pounds in hardware alone. You could go so far as to omit them or remove trim studs that aren't completely necessary. i think you would be better off with a tubular front subframe (chromoly), that will save quite a bit too. The rear subframe is pretty light as is, probably not a lot to gain there without sacrificing rigidity. I even saved a few pounds by pulling wires out of the EFI harness, like PRVR, AIV, EGR, boost solenoids. Coil pack swap/ptu delete alone saved me ~60 feet of wire weight. Have fun with it ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1992 300ZX NA 5 Sp (Dead) 1990 300ZX NA Auto 2+2 (Dead) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Stock Turbos) (Est. 400 HP) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (GT600R) (Est. 600 HP) 2004 G35 Sport 6MT (DD) 2008 Honda Civic (DD) 1969 Chevy C10 (Toy) 1969 Chevelle (Toy)
