there are alot more ways of removing weight and the struts arent really the problem in a fox.What is the purpose of the car drag,autocross,?you can save weight with an aftermarket k member,tubular control arms, coilovers

Struts aren't heavy to begin with. What you need is something adjustable. A lightweight strut is going to do nothing for you unless you have a full blown drag car.....even then the advantage is questionable. A good Strange adjustable strut is all you need.
