Weight of the Level 1 Suspension?

[rednightrain]

With the level 1 suspension.... I know you get bigger front and rear sway bars, panhard rod, and lower rear control arms. But my question is how much more do those parts weigh compared to the OEM parts?

[AllTheGoodNamesAreGone]

Are you talking about the SLP kit?

I dont think that it would weigh all that much more.. if any..
worst case.. i would say 15-20 pounds..
if that..

Yes I'm talking about the SLP kit.

I see you have the 1LE sway bars. Did you ever weigh them and then weigh the OEM's, cause 15-20lbs seems a lot?

Do you recomend getting the 1LE sway bars or finding something lighter?

The 1LE bars are worth their weight. For ultimate drag racing the front one is simple to remove so its not any big deal. I believe the 32mm is 15lbs or less, the stock 28mm is around 9-12lbs. A 35mm is nearly 19lbs.

I love the 1le bars.. they are probably the lightest upgrades arround.. they are hollow.. unlike alot of other replacements that are solid..

i was saying maybe 15-20 lbs total for everything in that kit..

and thats worst case..

weight in those components is not something to really worry toooo much about..

What do you plan to do with the kit.. drag race or autox?

[rednightrain]

I plan to do both. I want to carve corners and still be able to place as much power as I can, down to the wheels.

honestly.. If you want to know what I did..
I was real real real honest with myeself..
I said "I dont know what i am doing"..

so, i called sam strano jr.. he runs a suspension business.. and he realllllly knows his stuff!

he is a scca champion in his class.. I know him personaly.. great guy and super helpfull.. give him a call.. and he can help you better then anyone.. his prices are not to great.. but.. they are not unreasonable..

later

when you order the kit and they give you the tracking number the weight of that package will be listed. Thats the easiest way to figure this out [img]smile.gif[/img]
