Message Adding weight changes the resonant requency. The material type determines the loss tangent and thus the degree of damping.

Unless the company can demonstrate that (at the frequency of interest) the loss tangent of their material is substantially higher, theres no way to save weight. Even then, the reduction in weight will still change the frequency of the vibration.

Daily driving a TT is like ordering your favorite pizza for breakfast lunch and
dinner. It's not healthy and eventually you will lose the magic of the meal.
Sometimes you just have to have some meatloaf.

My new meatloaf.... 1994 Black Honda Civic DX :D
