I was wondering how big of a difference reduction in weight of 2 or so pounds per wheel would have on performance? Would acceleration and braking improve, or is it just a myth?
Was this the company you're talking about?Originally posted by SHOMAN@Apr 14 2004, 12:38 PM
It helps, it is called unsprung weight, but why waste money on wheels and only shave 2 pounds ?? change the brakes ??it aint cheap, but you can stop on a dime, and I believe Kirk said his Eradaspeed rotors and hubs shaved like 25 pounds per wheel, if I got the numbers wrong Kirk, or anybody correct me please, but I think I got the weight right. Its all about Rotating mass and inertia and moving weight from a dead stop

If so, do you know of any compatible part numbers? I downloaded the catalog and could only find rotors for contours/cougars, focuses, and mustangs in the Ford section. [/b]
Sorry, I thought you already got your answer so the thread was open for hijacking. My bad.Originally posted by apolinaras@Apr 19 2004, 05:42 PM
mikehawk,
Don't want to be an a$$, but you might want to start a separate thread instead of jacking this one.
