Battery change -10 kg. Eatch airjack with alumount is about 2,5 kg. Total on car little bit lighter, but more wight to rear.

The cars rear modified a lot so -6 kg exhaust, - 3 kg balance shaft/ balancer MMG so balance is slightly better than original. ;)

All brackets self made.

Not hardly. You'll need all the hoses and AN fittings to go with them.

650kg per jack. So 3 of those would mean something more like a 1.5 tonne car. 3 off 500kg are more than ample for the VX, going on Mike's corner weighting numbers.
