ROTATING weight is much more helpful. every pound of rotating weight you remove from the car acts like 8lbs of static weight.

I cant fathom destroying the integrity and safety of the car for a mere say 100 lbs. You could strip away everything, the whole trunk and interior and not notice much different. And what happens when you are away from home and get a flat? call a rollback??

The rear track-bar is full of leadshot and this can be removed
for a substantial weight loss gain. You gots those cast weights
on your rear axle tubes? Remove them also.

no don't hold my had I'm not like that, I just wondered cause if people suggest **** they should know about some people that sell the products and aren't just bull****ting ideas that can only be done as a custom mechanics job.
