And once you put that in your tire you can buy a new tpms sensor after getting your flat fixed.

If they would be "dry-carbon",you would save weight,but those are mostly just for show,not to mention the loss of security in case of a accident

would lowering the weight in the back ruin weight distribution too much?

all you have to do to lose weight in a X is call AMS with a credit card handy

I thought you guys might be interested in a minor bit of trivia - but over the pond in the UK, the "FQ" cars don't come with a spare wheels .... as standard. Instead they are supplied with a compressor kit and can of tyrefoam stuff. I didn't realise that any of the X's (in any market) came with spare wheel.

Well you can take out the sound deading material I think in total its 10 pounds... I saw somewhrer in the forums that they have this rear end metal bar which replace the heavy stock one. Carbon trunk n hood might save some weight too... maybe sum racing seats like bride... uhmm a full turbo back... I might be missing something else and other ideas?

GO WINGLESS those things are wayyy heavy, cf trunk, ams battery, new rims, rotors, exauhst, remove spare, stock seats are really heavy get rid of those, remove front and rear crash beam, not sure if they make a lightweight one but would look into that, umm yea that sound deadning material found all over car, this will keep your car as a D.D and deff a noticable loss of weight

hope that kinda helped
