dont suppose anyone has a boxed up stoptech and/or Brembo bbk? would be good to compare how much they weigh compared to a standard setup

same goes for standard suspension vs the various coilover offerings people have on here

'It weighs about 4kg I think, I will stick it on the scales later if needed. The standard bonnet weighs 20kg I believe.'
i remember changing my oem bonnet for a seibon c.f one!

the oem bonnett i took of was barely any heavier than the seibon carbon fibre one i replaced it with!

at most id say the oem one was 10kg and thats with the sound deadening on it!

my seibon ones about 4.5kg iirc!

when you change the oem exhaust set up for say a 4 2 1 header and s/s mani back theres a few kg's saved there!

also aftermarket coilovers are lighter than the oem suspension set up so again a few kg's can be saved there!

the best way to go quicker is weight reduction.....and its free!

good thread tony :thumbup:
