As for the weight... just take a good pre-game dump before you go "drifting" or whatever it is you're going to do. I've taken dumps that easily weighed the same as two MX3 tiebars.

Everything mentioned here besides the roll cage, that being tie bar, strut bars, and sway bars MIGHT weigh a combined total of... 30lbs? Probably closer to 20.
It will make exactly NO percievable difference. You can "smh" all you want, i'm perfectly capable of reading and comprehending even the inane ignorant drivel posted in this thread.

OH it all makes sense to me now! You need to cut your stock springs and and mount your wheels inside-out with long wheel studs and titanium lug nuts! That will lower it and widen it at the same time. It's what all the FWD drifters are doing. The weight you cut off your springs will counter the longer studs, and you might even ruduce the weight a few ounces with the titanium lugs! Wide cars dont flip, so when your in that mad street racing powerslide drift scene in fast and furious tokyo drift you'll be teh winnerz... Every car that flipped in that movie had strut tower bas AND tie bars, and the ones that didn't just had one or the other. You should use neither, and your car will never flip with your street racer drifting skills.Current:

mazdaman....i'd listen to the people on here... they do in fact know what they are talking about with these cars. you seem to me like one of those inner city ****tards that think a weight reduction of 10 lbs will make you go so much faster. lol. if you really want a good stiff ride... like these guys have been telling you --- springs, struts, sway bars, poly bushings all around, f/r tie bars, f/r strut tower bars.
YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO ROLL YOUR CAR WITH SQUISHY SUSPENSION VS A STIFF SUSPENSION. its pretty simple physics dude. i would expect someone who 'lives for drifting' to know something about suspension setups. if you 'live for drifting', why are you on here asking a simple question about stiffening up your suspension.
tell ya what...go be like every other honduh rodder out there and throw a big ass wing on for downforce. that'll help so ya dont roll. and that big ass fart can on the passenger side is counterbalance in your sick 90* drift. and big 18" chrome wheels help to keep the rubber side down to bro92 Pro - Daily Beater and project- current frankenstein
