Got around to removing the rear wheel studs
Replaced the 100mm for 72mm.
Turns out it saved just over 0.5 lbs. Not bad as its unsprung weight and only the rears. Something to think about when ordering longer studs.
0.5 saved 1846 lbs total

Hey DAVE YOU ARE RIGHT!! these are 3.5 spacing! What a PITA as my aluminum mounting brackets are set up for 3.5. I was wondering why the new Alu Brembo calipers wouldn't fit?
I thought it was a caliper depth issue or rotor issue, the obvious option would be bolt spacing. Just a brain cramp on my end. I'll need to get proper SWB mounting brackets ASAP.

Great project! What are you going to use for the interior rear view mirror? If you use the standard mirror then you could possibly loose a few grams using the 914/6 smaller version.

This 914/6, some say RSR used them as well is only 220grams and enough sight. I have one in my road/track car.
