It's not quite adding weight since the wire only weighs 3 lbs and my battery currently weighs 27. The braille is on my list of improvements I just don't like having weight up high, hell I'd move the battery where most of the CAI's pull in just to get the weight lower on the car. But I'm sure that 6lbs up top make almost no difference.

I've found the LSD isn't such an issue if you get rid of the front bar but figuring out the spring rates you need to run to compensate for no front bar is another matter all together.

I believe its STFu

Sorry, 30lbs in the back is not an improvement over 6lbs in the front. Also don't forget the mounting hardware and battery box if you are using a non-sealed battery. But it will be worth it for the added inconvenience of having the battery using up hatch space.

Go look at fast ST Hondas, you will find the battery under the hood. But go ahead and reinvent the wheel.
