Well I removed the AC from my car (47lbs), Fiberglass hood (30lbs). Looks like I have already lost the weight I will be adding in for support. Not to mention my many aluminum parts on the engine. SFC are the best bang for the buck as far as any support related parts.
88fast, now its time to see yours... 1 more day 1 more day.

Hey man, I'm about to tear my AC/blower out too to make room for my MSD stuff. Question is, is there any way to just remove the AC and not the blower motor so I still might have heat? It's not really a car that needs heat but I'd like to keep it should I ever cruise in cold weather.
The Spohn with the box were about 22lbs... My scale might be off a few pounds tho.. it's an approximate

they are on the way but fed ex said they would be here saturday which i was going to put them on sunday if their schedule was right.. i checked and the estimated delievery is this wednesday... im sorry guys looks like its going to be this sunday again till i have pics... my brother is welding my subframes on and he can only weld them on sundays because thats when the managers are not there......
yeah and by that time i will also have my bmr torque arm and new u joints ready to install around the same time then the week after that im getting my bmr torque arm relocation bracket and tranny poly mount... so i have alot of things to put on that should increase my rides handling and driveability quite a bit...
lemme know how the torque arm relocation bracket goes... i heard it's much stronger when it's bolted to the crossmember...

ok i will... it will be alot stronger than the factory weak setup.... you should get the matching torque arm to get the full benefits of the setup.... i think they go hand in hand... but i just got my alstons today through fed ex....
Make sure you get multiple pictures of the SFC's. Like, lots, maybe even a video, also make sure you got lighting under the lift as well. Sorry I'm a picture maniac.

I'm guessing you're referring to my crappy un-lit pics with a crap camera lol... The alignment guy was rushing me when I was taking them... He even started lowering the car like a jackass while i was under there... I swear, no respect..

No yours are fine pictures. I can see everything you took. I'm just a picture happy guy, the more the merrier. When I get mine I'll end up making a video, probably showing how tight they are to the frame and such just because.

well guys it looks like i got one of them welded on today by my brother and i have pics...i will take better pics by friday of both sets welded in... the alstons i drew a blue line and the bmrs i put a red line to show you to two different sets....the passenger side was no problem but the driver side alston connector is a pain in the *** to install because of the fuel lines.... we are going to have to unbolt the lines and move them abit so we can weld the driver side in... i will take MUCH better pics when the driver side is installed either tomorrow or friday for sure... ground clearance was actually better than i thought with the alstons
how does the car ride now? stiff as hell isn't it?! Hehehe...
