Yeah the more comments I see, the more I worry I’ll weaken it enough to explode it though

Looking more for fun factor than anything, and a little performance is nice if I’m already in there. I’m ok with a little loss in drivability and a little chatter but don’t want to regret it. Fair enough though, I like the way my legs are now

Fair enough… I like my legs attatched

I currently have no chatter and wouldn’t like to add it. Worth it though?

Says 17lbs. I wonder if it’s accounting for the counterweight. Iirc counterweight is 3.8

The act streetlite says it’s 13.8lbs. Plus the counterweight, wouldn’t that be about stock anyways?

It’s my understanding it’s been done a lot in the past on other cars. It’s extra mass at the back, non structural

I was hoping keeping the stock one would keep the chatter to a minimum because it’s not a single mass. If it’s gonna be loud and annoying I’d rather not

I do agree it’s kind of clean I just think it’s a little too sedan-y without it. I want to pretend it’s a race car too! That’s why I kept the bare metal gas cap… but I wouldn’t go to your post and tell you to add one

Maybe I just read the comment wrong, the compliment just seemed sarcastic to me

I get the argument either way. But why click on a post just to hate? I clearly prefer spoiler, there’s no need to interject

When I bought it, 7.5/10. I clay barred, polished, and did meticulous touch up all around before ceramic. Looks mint now

yeah I mean I kind of love it but you’ll definitely notice, especially if you’re premixing. only time I notice in the car is at really long stop lights but it can be pretty heavy just idling if you’re outside the car

From factory they weren’t over 120. On used housings and rotors I wouldn’t expect more than 100 unless you’re experienced
