So you know about the S/R’s? Here is a page I found when I first got my car on them. [Yahoo | Mail, Weather, Search, Politics, News, Finance, Sports & Videos](http://www.geocities.com/ford_zx2_sr/)

Anyways, I don’t have the centerforce in there anymore. I have the Spec Stage II. In the spring I’m installing a UDP and hopefully buying some light weight wheels that weigh 10lbs. a piece. I’ll let you run me before I get all that done and when I still have my winter tires on.

I guess if you want to get technical the curb weight is 2,468lbs.

I forget what other vehicle from ford the mod worked on but I think it might have been an explorer. I wouldn’t recommend trying it though unless you really know what your doing. I wouldn’t have known about it if it wasn’t for the zx2 forum.
