Power to Weight?

Okay lets say you add an Intake, exhaust, and simple stuff to increase power to ur car. but then you add like stabl. bars, sway bars and all the other bars. now these bars would add weight to ur car. So in a sense adding all that stuff to ur car to increase power and handling kinda brings you back to square one as far as power is concerned.

Let's see. Adding bigger bars probably adds a couple of pounds at most. Go on a diet.

Coilovers probably weight about the same as stock type dampers/springs. BABK lowers not only weight, but driveline weight as well. Bigger wheels add a bit of weight, but Grassroots Motorsports found bigger wheels improved performance on their autocross course they set up.

Oh, an trick hollow racing swaybars weight less. :D

Even if they add weight... it's probalby less than a half tank of gas, or so... just drive around with less gas in the car, instead of having a full tank, drive around with a half tank, or less. Then it's closer the same weight. Or just grow very fond of lettuce :D
