Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

Very nice! I switched out to similar battery setup with a Lithium Iron battery. Any other weight reduction plans? How much have you saved so far?

Btw.. instead of the front swaybar replacement.. Have you thought about getting an adjustable bracket (3 hole vs the single hole oem bracket) for the swaybar link on the lower control arm to change the OEM to be stiffer?

I'm still toying with the idea of an aluminum driveshaft sometime down the road; a shop local to me is in the works of designing their own so we'll see how that plays out.
So far my weight-loss breaks down approximately like this:
rotational = 20 lbs
sprung = 35 lbs
The goal is to keep everything fully streetable and not do anything that takes away from comfort, drivability, or civility in the least.

I did look briefly at getting those front brackets + some Energy bushings/saddles, but at that point I'd be spending almost the same as the Eibach front bar cost me so I decided to just do the complete matching set (springs + F&R bars) and lose additional weight in the process.
