Default Cayman R - Track Upgrades - Heigo Rollbar, RSS

We just wrapped up getting this Cayman R ready for some serious track duty.

We installed a Heigo Rollcage, RSS lower control arms, RSS Adjustable Toe Links, TPC rear swar bar, and Schroth 6 point harness.

Dan, did you happen to weigh the Heigo before it went in?

We did not weigh it, but it is not a lightweight piece! We estimate around 50lbs all said and done. Pair the roll bars with some lightweight Recaros and that cancels out the weight gain!

Default Heigo Roll bar weight

I have the same Roll bar set up and was told by the company that the bar weighs 37 lbs.

How much weight do you think the Recaros will actually save over the GT2 buckets shown in the picture?

GT2 seats have airbags and are heavy.
CGT seats would be awesome for the build but $$$.
