Sounds interesting. Surely there are plenty of hachi-roku parts to choose from. Whatever the racers do for weight savings will surely work for hypermiling, and some of the suspension work will help too (not camber, etc). It should be said that it's unlikely for these lightweight bolts to pay off, but if it's not about return on investment through gas savings I say go ahead. The worst they can do is make your car a little bit faster and your wallet a little bit thinner.

Are you stretching skinnier tires onto the rims or using super wide tires? I have thought about stretching LRR tires for the look and function. 8)
