It will be hard to go below 790kg with a road legal car.

How are you going to solve that the exhaust is on the right now? Leave the clam off? ;)

Yep, it's never easy to achieve such weight reduction. I am working as from now for the next three month to reach 800kg... At that time (march?), the car would have loose 138.93kg compared to OEM and had 27kg so a final 111,93 kg of weight reduction, before the third part...

Make sure you use a good anti-seize compound on the threads when you use these. Otherwise the titanium will start galling inside the steel threads of the hub and it will get stuck.

No biggie, just don't use them 'dry'.

Bye, Arno.
