Had my car corner balanced today:
thought, i'd share my weight reduction spreadsheet with everyone. i leveraged this from my last car so it has a lot of blanks, but it is all the places i found weight on my last car...

Gt2's and 3's take out the rear seats and belts.
Possible to raise the rear spoiler and delete motor and linkage ?
Rear wiper and motor ?
GT3 seats will save a bunch.

- need the rear seats (have kids that enjoy riding in the car too much to deprive them of that).
- i haven't figured out how to raise the rear spoiler and delete the motor. it is hyraulic, therefore if you delete it then it will bleed down over time.
- i thought about the rear wiper & motor, but it is only 3 lbs
- GT3 seats, had those in the last car. Need access to rear seats. But i'm really looking forward to the new 997GT2 folable seats. Those things look awesome and i hope they shed a lot of weight.

next steps:
- I'm looking into the brake rotor upgrade to put aluminum hats and rotor discs. Hoping that will shed ~10-14lbs of unsprung weight
- Looking into a LWF that will reduce unsprung weight.

For a street car, I don't think I would do anything else. If the goal is just improving your driving at DE, that is well accomplished by the work you have done. I didn't see a GT3 rear sway mentioned, but that is helpful and cheap, along with revision of allignment specs. It will never be a light weight track burner, and too much more dieting and it won't be a great street car either.
At some point, it just becomes easier to buy a dedicated track car. AS

I find that a diet works the best for us vertically challenged folks. Easy to knock 20-30 pounds right there.
