DIY | EASY 100 POUNDS GONE | 2005 WRX

Trying hard to save money to improve the Rex so weight reduction it is.
I did end up weighing everything and it came out to 94 pounds.

    That's the front subframe U-brace. It's a safety component for front end collisions. You can get lightweight replacements online.

    That would be part of your subframe. Lol. Completely safe? No no no.

    Hmm interesting. I would reach speeds of around 140-150 very often and would not feel the shake. Did the shake start after you removed the sub frame?

    Just replace it with a lighter strut brace. You'll reduce body roll plus the car will still be lighter.

    The bar under the back seat isn’t making your car stiffer, it’s for side impact crash protection

    @@TheSwiftestWolf not necessarily, it’s bolted to sheet metal, not to the frame like the sub frame. Because of this it Will only add rigidity on side impacts, when there is something actively pushing against it. If you look at the older imprezas (ie. 97-98) they don’t have that bar. It was only added after they started testing cars fir side impacts
