Brackets are a great place to lighten the load too. I would not want a glass bracket, but aluminum will work just fine. Heck, even just windowing out a set of stock brackets will take a bunch of wheight off. On my A-body, it had inner and outer brackets. The outers weighed less of the two pairs, so i took them and cut a bunch out of them. I think it was something silly like 20 lbs overall i took off. I was down to 3lbs a pair on my aluminim brackets when it was all said and done.
