How often do you guys take into account the balance of the car? I have had the the muffler and secondary cats out for a while but just removed the entire back seat and the trunk floor. Dropping the 50+ pounds made a real difference but loosing that much weight plus the rear section of the exhaust feels likes its a bit light in the rear now?
Already have non-power seats up front. I know carbon hood might help balance it out but not looking to do that just yet. thanks guys

If I keep taking stuff out of the car and making it louder I might be in the same boat. "Your car is inconvenient, and not a f***ing race car"

Anyone weighed the front fenders on an E90 to see what they weigh? I am thinking of having some made in fiberglass. Want to know if it would be worth it. If balance is key, then I imagine it would be useful for those lightening the rear of the car.

Do they make aluminum driveshafts for our cars?

I got it at stableenergies.com. I asked plenty of questions and they were very helpful. I think it is a no brainer. My Indy installed it. They made a mount but you can also buy one. Other than that it is a pnp just like any other battery.

*** Battery update: as you know we had some very cold weather around here recently. My car is always garaged but I wanted to test the battery operation and left it outside to cold soak. The battery works OK (slow/slower crank but starts w/o issues) until around 20 deg or so. Below 15-20 deg it is a high risk the car would not start. I tried to start it at 7 deg F and it was a NO GO. However, there were members that were posting their cars would not start even with the standard battery. So far I am impressed with it and for cars that are in climates where temps don't drop below 20 deg F frequently it would work well.
