Info on SRA 8.8 weight


holidays are over...Im done being lazy and bored. Time to work on the car.

I built a new SRA 8.8 w/ everything done to it and I was hoping to see a total of 20-30lbs weight savings with the car back on the scales "including" my new wheels. well I got to weigh both rear ends today.

Current 8.8 SRA

stock length
9" ends
Strange 33 spline axles
Strange Spool
FMS 4.10s
FMS girdle
FMS explorer brakes
1/2-20 3" studs
Cobra pinion flange

total weight - 196#'s

New 8.8 SRA

shortened 7" (3.5" each side)
9" ends
Strange 33 spline axles w/ lightened flanges
Strange Spool
Strange 4.10s lightened
Fore girdle (heavier than FMS cover I believe)
Strange Pro Race brakes
5/8" studs
Cobra pinion flange

total weight - 168#'s

so static weight alone I'm down 28#s which I'm shocked as my new wheels are another 3-4#s lighter each so total will be around 34-36#s saved from the swap. Alot of this weight is also rotational on the drive tires!

Also....this will put my race weight around 3285 w/ me in it......oh boy....

to shorten it? bring it to a chassis shop.

explorer brakes are an easy swap when you run 9" ends. are cheap to get and work just fine as they are oem and have an e-brake
