good evening,

i want to loose as much of the unsprung weight as i can, any ideas? i've seen the lightweight drive flanges,rear hubs and front swivel hubs in minisport. i've also seen the force racing bits, but im not that rich!

cheers

Changing to alloy callipers is a big gain, obviously using light alloy wheels, and changing the cast iron drums to minifins help, os just change the lot to a disk arrangement.... See KAD.

What are your reasons for reducing the unsprung weight ?

13" wheels are definitely out of the window - they weigh a ton!

Front end you can get alloy hubs and drive flanges from Minisport, alloy callipers from any number of places, Minilite still also do magnesium 10's as well as do KAD (not Minilite style). On the rear, alloy radius arms (Specialist components, KAD, etc.), alloy hubs from Minisport or Specialist Components, Minifins or a disc conversion.

If you're REALLY serious about it, Force racing with all the titanium loveliness is the ultimate but deep pockets are essential!
