Thread: unsprung weight

I wonder, how does one reduce unsprung weight? On a B13?

Lighter rims and tires, lighter calipers and rotors, having the tighter coils of the spring on top, and having 2 or more AEM stickers.

Monotube inverted front struts.

Yah, aluminum knuckles...
How exotic or practical do you want the ideas?

I just drilled a hundred holes in my control arms. You know, to lighten em.

I did the same thing with my wheels, but now I cant get the tires to inflate. Hmmmm.

In all seriousness, lighter wheels and lugs are the easiest thing you can do to reduce unsprung weight.

How the HELL did you manage to post a question, without 3 pages of useless nonsense around it?! :P

Anyways, what they said.

lmaooooo interestin question...

just run without tires, that way you save the weight of the tire + the weight of the air to inflate it

oh and get rid of that caliper stuff, weights a lot and is completely overrated

I could be mistaken, but the answer to your question is pretty self-explanatory.

Question: If your tires, wheels and brakes make the majority of unsprung weight, what would a person do to minimized unsprung weight?

Answer: Buy lighter tires, wheels, and brakes.
