I think what a lot of people over look when they weight reduce is corner balancing the car. Just pulling things at random is not good as you can severly alter the weight distribution of the vehicle. I think if you do such dramatic weight reduction, arm your self with some lead plates, and corner scales...i learned the hard way.

Another thing to consider when changing the susp. is making sure the geometry of the susp. is correct. a helpfull book is Automotive Math Handbook. all the calculations neccessary to build a sound race car.
