How much good does the front sub-frame do for the car?  I am in need of
removing about 200 more pounds from the car and the front subframe looks like
it's just along for the ride.  I would like to cut everything from the
firewall forward except the lip that the fenders bolt onto and the very front
section that the grille hangs from.  I already have a radiator support that
bolts to the frame, so apart from holding up the fenders and keeping the
squirrels out what good does the front subframe do?  Is it especially
important for rigidity?  Has anyone cut theirs off before?  How much weight
would I be saving?

Thanks,

Andy
