So is it worth trying to lighten one?? What kind of weight does a carbon bonnet save? Any other good ways to lighten one up?

My mate is currently stripping his 2wd as its going to be used for trackdays, he needs another set of lowering springs to drop it even more now as so much weight has been taken out.

unless your going to that extent i doubt its worth it.
