Less weight (30 lb reduction)
Less "stuff" to break
Not really needed - the 96 Stealth TT didn't come with it
Only functions over ?35? mph and some road racers/autocrossers find it more predictable to remove it

Ya I'm mostly doing it for preventative maintenance so I don't have to worry about leaks later on, plus all the weight savings I can get is ok by me :thumbup:
Ah okay. My SL didn't have any nifty features, just a broken ECS... Now I got a VR4 with all the working bells and whistles, so I am hesitant to start deleting all of them. I still have my stock cat-back on for the active exhaust, even though my catless turboback doesn't seem to get muffled in tour mode at all :lol7:
I'll give it 2 weeks before I end up replacing my suspension once the ECS goes out, the rear spoiler when the active aero get stuck in the upright position, and my cat-back exhaust when it develops a leak.
Once the MOD bug bites you will always have that itch...LOL
I think I'm beginning to like deleting stuff as much as adding new mods :p
Do you happen to have the length of the bolt you need? I am ordering everything on that list, but that doesn't include the bolts, correct? Would I be better off ordering a 1/2" bolt since that is the actual size of the hole (instead of metric)? Then just need nuts and I'm ready to rock?
Just want to make sure, I'm stock piling parts to powdercoat the rear end, bushings, new suspension, AWS delete, control arms, etc. and want to have it all ready when I tear it down!
pretty easy to do mod , i have done prolly about 8 of em now . all done in acouple hours in my garage with just a floor jack. well worth it imo .
My case. Was leaking badly. Always wanted to remove, so this was a good excuse to do it. Stick may be ultimately no different, but vehicle rotation in curves at speed is much, much better. And that would be expected given how the RWS is supposed to work. Love what it has done for response to steering wheel movements.
Really? Didn't have problems with stuck hardware/etc.? Did you remove the hardlines running to the front (forget if they are bolted down or not). I am putting on coilovers/control arms/tie rod ends/sway links and would like to do this at the same time so I only need one alignment, but this is my only car so if it is down for a while I am screwed.
