    :cornut: 9.3 lbs each!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek6::crazy::arf::drool They are drop dead gorgeous beautiful. Talk about dropping unsprung weight to improve suspension/ride, you're definately over the top. I can no longer be smug about my mere 13lbs OZ Allegerettes:frown5::frown2: Don't forget to trash the heavy run flats.:Thumbsup:

    I really appreciate that. Its easy to get distracted with flare (as i did before i started posting pics.... its all removed, now).

    And since im not ever going to have a 300whp mini cooper, i figured ill just keep her under the radar and piss off the high school boys that think their stock mustangs are cool ;)


    ...this car makes me want to auto cross
