Aluminum or composite front/rear bumper brackets = 45lbs
Lightweight seats = 60lbs
Tubular K-Member = 20lbs
Tubular Suspension = 20lbs
Aluminum calipers = 20lbs
Fiberglass hood (stock replacement = 30lbs
Coil Over Dampers/Springs = 20lbs
AIR Pump = 7lbs
Headers = 10lbs
LS1 Swap = 80lbs:P
Distribution of weight... just as important.
1.) Relocate p/s reservoir and coolant/battery tray reservoir to inside of frame.
2.) Move battery to rear of car.
