I have found a couple things I can remove that wouldn't affect anything performance, drivability or visually wise and would save me about 30-50#

Curious as to how difficult it would be to take out my A/C stuff. I hear it is about 40-50lbs worth. I NEVER just my A/C. I am just curious, this would be a last weight reduction type deal.

Lol losing 30lbs for me would be really tough and probably be unhealthy.

Another question...does the QA1 K member require aftermarket a-arms and coilover or can I use the stock a-arms and struts? I know it says stock a-arms but I thought I had to use aftermarket. I would love the weight lose and most importantly the header bolt clearance.
