I've seen the front end push in at 110-120 mph without bracing.

burkhart makes a brace for the front ends now. still saves wait and the shape of the nose.

the things your car absolutely needs should be taken off of the list. it causes confusion and problems

An experienced mechanic should know what your car has to have to run and what it doesn't. (It's not confusing at all.) Some people may find a lighter or more effective way to make a certain part of their car work, so I think it's a good idea to put everything on the list for informational purposes.

I relocated the Battery to the Back, that's a good way to drop 40lbs off the Front and put it in the Back to help you.

I don't see a listing for the TCS motor. I removed mine last weekend, but haven't weighed it. I doubt it's much... maybe 3-4 lbs.
