I have found very few parts aside from rotors and wheels that can be upgraded to reduce unsprung weight.

Any suggestions?

Maybe not unsprung weight but going on a diet always helps. :cool:

It's good inspiration - I've lost 30Kg since buying the car to make it go faster.

As a side effect, I can move faster without the car too ?
Unfortunately I might have found some of that for you.

Unsprung weight seems terribly expensive to reduce by any significant amount. I might have to put the fork down instead

Don't forget the tires, they have the farthest mass from the center of rotation.

He was asking about "unsprung" . But yea as far as overall weight savings that would be a good start.
Yeah i saw. But figured those were pretty much covered already lol. Easy weight savings here.
