On there own they save a bit but u can't just look at a weight loss for the car and only change 1 thing, it just ain't worth it but strip the interior / electric windows / speakers etc etc and u can easily get the car around the 1000-1100kg mark.

Dump the abs and fit the lines inside the car, using a bias valve to control the rears for a start that setup weighs a ton!

I am pretty anal with this when I was building bikes, but with the vag I am starting at the front and working back. I am looking at every nut and bolt and bracket and what it does, if it ain't needed it comes off or is replicated in allot or carbon. If a bolt can be replaced with an alloy / ti item then it will be with only structural items being left as stock.
It's not for everyone and not everyone has these items to hand but u get my point I hope.

Do you know how much weight you've saved by removing the a.b.s?

Thanks Mark

They need to be a very snug fit in the window channels to avoid then being sucked out at speed. Best to use the same thinckness as the glass so it fits in the same manner, thinner will be too flexible. As said bonding them in helps as will a well positioned bottom stop.
