Unsprung Weight, how about a list Options

[McMark]

I'm getting my alternate-alternate 914 running while my primary car is stripped and on the rotisserie. I'm thinking about focusing on reducing weight in a somewhat reasonable manner. I won't be doing any permanent alterations but what about unsprung weight? This is the area where I want to explore and see what a stock 914 can feel like with minimized unsprung weight. Here's the list of components in my mind to address:

• Wheels
• Brakes
• Torsion bars

What else is out there that I'm not thinking about?

I removed about 80 lbs from the car when I switched to 13" wheels and bias ply tires. Wilwood calipers weigh about 2lb each where the stock calipers weigh close to 8 lbs. I machined down the rotors to clear the wheels. I know you're not interested in going this route, but it was a lot of fun.

I'd love to figure out a way to lighten the struts. I'm running shortened struts with the Koni race inserts. I wonder if Bilsteins are lighter than Konis?

I just switched over to Penske rear shocks. They are lighter and mount upside down so the shaft is the unsprung wt as opposed to the shock body.

FWIW
