I was bored and I thought it would be interesting to get an idea of the weight of certain OEM and aftermarket parts for the CL. I did a search for a thread and I didn't see one like this. This would be pretty cool way to compare different weight savings and gains from certain parts.

Weighted on a regular digital bathroom scale.

OEM Crank Pulley: 8.48 pounds
OEM Brakes (used): Front-34.8, Rear-20.2 pounds in empty box.
OEM Spare Tire: from what I remember, 32-33 pounds inflated.
UR Underdrive Crank Pulley: 1 pound in box w/ packing foam.
H&R Sport Springs #51858: Front-6.8 Pounds, Rear-7.8 pounds
Tokico HP: Front-4.8 pounds in box, Rear -6.8 pounds in box

After I get my suspension parts installed, I'll see how much those OEM Struts and Springs weight.

 

To specify: the brakes were weighed in pairs (front and rear) and the Tokico struts and H&R springs are weighed individually.

 

The OEM Hood weighs like an elephant also, but I dont know the exact weight =/

 

this is a general list i was compiling, but i still have a lot more to add.

Cruise Control (Bracket and Cable) - 2.8 lb
3rd Brake Light - 0.8 lb
Rear Speaker Grills (2) - 1.6
Rear Deck - 1.6
Rear Center Console - 7.2 lb
Owners Manual - 1.0 lb
Trunk Lid Liner - 2.6 lb
Trunk Panel (Center Plastic Liner) - 1.2 lb
Jack Cover - 0.4 lb
Jack - 3.4 lb
Tools (3) - 1.6 lb
Tools Cover - 0.2 lb
Left Trunk Lining - 3.2 lb
Right Trunk Lining - 3.4 lb
Spare Tire - 30.6 lb
Spare Tire Bolt - 0.2 lb
Bose Amp - 1.8 lb
Left Side Cubby - 0.8 lb
Tool Tray - 0.6 lb
Trunk Tray - 9.0 lb
Back Seat - 25.0 lb
Rear Seat Braces - 6.5 lb
Rear Seat Trunk Lining - 0.6 lb
trunk lid - 25.0 lb
oem spoiler w/ wiring - 5.0 lb
type s shocks/springs - 52.0 lb

 

Ive got a auto trans to weigh, but nothing to weigh it with.

 

nice list you've got going as of yet. i expected the trunk lid to weigh more. the weight listed is for the stock one, right? and i didn't think the rear seat weighed that much. i was under the impression that the rear center console weighed more. or are you including the latter with the weight of the former?

at the owner's manual.

 

i've got the weight of the auto tranny somewhere

cf trunk lid is 13 lbs

 

Human (not really a part): 100 to 300 lbs
Passanger Human: same
Back seat Human: same

 

I have a list as well, I'll have to find it as I completely stripped the car.

 

Really? Wow, I totally expected the spoiler that to weight more than 5 lbs. Learn something new everyday.

 

True, I don't think the bathroom scale will work with that.

I was also suprised that the spoiler only weighs 5 pounds!

 

I bought an aftermarket spoiler (OEM spoiler design) and it weighs a bunch more than 5 lbs. Maybe that's why the OEM ones cost way more???

 

i dont know, i think it's just because the weight is distributed differently. non-oem can't weigh much more. i doubt if its even 10 lbs, id say like 6-7. there isnt really much to them and don't forget their hollow for the most part.

 

What about the OEM headers compared to aftermarket? I never had the oem headers b/c when I bought the car it already had comptech headers in it (otherwise that would have taken me forever to save up for.)

 

typeR, how heavy were each of the bumper braces? I had to help my friend change his front brace on his Mazda 6 and it felt like over 15 lbs?

 

the front brace was around 19 lbs, the rear brace wsa around 16 lbs.

comptech collectors (w/ jethot) - 3.6 lb per collector = 7.2 lbs
comptech downpipe (w/ jethot) - 8.8 lbs

i have the OEM headers in the shed out back, can get a weight on those later today.
