My weight: 182
My weight + BMR = 208

BMR weighs 26 lbs.

40-26 = 14lbs saved
42-26 = 16lbs saved

I'll have to reweigh the stock one, we'll say it weighs 41 lbs. The BMR saves 15 lbs.

I haven't looked into how the motor mount setup works, so probably save a little weight on those too no?

Good to hear you saved some weight with the BMR. I'd like to see some pics of it installed in the car. Did you get the one that keeps the stock steering rack?

Don't worry I'll get plenty of 'installed' pics too.

Keep an eye out for a newly cleaned up front suspension thread...got me some engine paint and sandpaper, I'm going to town!

On another note, I think my bushings are shot, no?

I'm just gonna order up some Prothane ones. Not going to do the Ball joints and all that, I'll just save up for some Tubular A-arms in the future...or I could just run these ones until then, but I figure best to just get new bushings.
