I am at 2335 pounds for the street and 2200 pounds for the race without driver but my front is too heavy, rear weight 850 pounds where front weights 1485 pounds in the street setup. I might be able to remove another 20-30 pounds from the front but that's it, I don't have anything left to remove...

I might mess with suspension to aid this but I don't think I can get decent numbers with just height adjustment.

What kind of a weight bias should I expect from a 2200 pounds Evo ?

Do you have any pictures of your car? I would be interested in seeing what she looks like at the current weight. Also, where about in NC are you? The wife & I are moving back down to NC in a couple months.

Has anyone had any issue with the paint once they remove the Heat blanket on the fire wall?

Anyone know the actual weight of a Seibon trunk? Sucks that the robispec trunks are no longer being sold, 7lbs is even lighter than the seibon dry carbon trunks...

RS's do not have it from factory. You are good, my evo is up around 130k miles with no paint issues there.

Need to see if someone can bring a hood to Crows landing from Robi. A 10lb saving up front is a big chunk from where Im at now.

I talked to Robi a year or so ago about his hood & trunk. I would love to pick them up but shipping costs are pretty silly now. He blamed it on Obama, haha...

I originally got in contact with him via email. Had to send 1 or 2 follow up emails since he didn't respond right away.
