"Add lightness?"
Looking for ideas/products that will lower weight on an A3.
Wife says must have dsg.
Not willing to remove seats or other radical "stripping".
Cost *is* an issue.
Looking for savings of pounds, not ounces.
My list so far:
1. 2.0t fwd
2. 16.7 lb O.Z. 17" ultraleggera rims (can't afford rs10s)
3. aftermarket exhaust (not sure which, recommendations?)
4. no open sky
5. lose weight
Anyone know of other products? (e.g., hollow sway bars, carbon fiber body parts, etc.)
TIA!

That would be cool, but so far no A3 compatible offset for SSR
I'm leaning toward OZ Ultraleggera. 16.7 lbs @ 17" but it's new so not sure about the strength (cast, not forged). If no other significant weight saving products emerge, I may opt to spend another $1000+ for the Neuspeed RS10 (17.8 lbs for 18").
