Guys,
1. Does anyone have any comments about swaping out the stock Kmember for the tubular Spohn version? I'm working on losing weight in the 3rd gen SPO car and wondered if anyone will acknoldge it is stong enough for road racing abuse.
2. Has anyone swaped over to the Rack and pinion sterring (Pinto) for weigh reduction?

3. What are the best headers for 3 gen vs. tranny combo for clutch fork clearence issues.
Currently use T56,LT1 version with Heddman standard not shortys.

Just need some quick easy responses on these topics.

Thanks

The VFN pin on fiberglass hood is a pretty good bang for the buck mod if rules allow. What TJ said tho - a lot of weight will come off 1oz at a time. Also avoid putting anything back in that isn't absolutely essential.
