Good thoughts and questions, thanks. here is a little more detail on my thought process.

Front shocks are 4,6 oz each. Rears are 4,13 oz each, so about 19 lb total weight. My goal is a 1 lb/mount for a total 15 lb weight savings at the ends of the car. But I also want to stay as close to stock bumper dampening in light hits while not damaging the unibody in harder hits. Basically, like the shocks, I want transmit as little energy from an accident directly to the unibody in light, medium or hard hit situations.

They just look heavy.
