Braided steel hose is way heavy and I see tons of the stuff, lots way high on the chassis- consider hardlines for the majority of the length and smaller flexible connectors if nessicary. Things like dry sump lines or fuel lines that run between two components mounted on the block do not require any flex. Also give consideration to routing & mounting to save length. This exercise took about 10 lbs off our road racer.
