==Sprung weight vs. Unsprung weight==
 
==Sprung weight vs. Unsprung weight==
Sprung weight is anything supported by the suspension, Unsprung is anything that is not. Removing one pound of unsprung weight it approximately equal to removing ten pounds of sprung weight. Granted there is limited weight to be lost on the frame and suspension components but when you consider its like ten times as much on the body it is quite considerable.
