Weight reduction always helps, especially in thoose stop light
encounters. Less weight on the front also means that it willbe more
responsive to steering forces so maybe more fun to boot. Unfortunatel,
you probably could not remove enough weight from the car to be really
effective in regards to pin failures. No matter how the pin is loaded,
whether forward or backing, it does break and that is the real problem.
Not the peeing contest that Steve and I have going on.....the pins do
break. . IMHO. YMMV.
