Aluminum screws on the bottom, you guys are more hardcore then me. I would run ti up top and steel on the bottom, keep the weight as low as possible, and the steel are a ton more durable on the bottom.

Trackrods.... yeah. I have not had any luck with those ( Al ). I tend to hit pretty hard ( total commitment to the line - even if it is a bad one ) and I bend the aluminum ones.. I prefer Ti or Spring Steel.

No matter how light your car is... your still last if you can not finsih the run.
My LE 411 is at 1405grams with everything stock dont need it to be any lighter, well i could run a lightweight body
