DAD, I think of all the TQ chassis I built, with coils, we were usually in the 125# range, and them old Honda's on your nose is heavy, course when I went to this ?600R, it lost a lot of weight, but with the bars, they didn't know any difference, just leveled em out, and went racin, but I still prefer bars over coils, just a lot cheaper, and the way I run mine, it transfers OK, and I don't get any complaints from drivers about how it handles, so it must not be a big deal. Car now weighs about 675#, maybe a bit more, we don't have a problem making the 800# car and driver law! Bob
