@Bach415 - So in order for weight reduction to work you must first lower the car, but using coilovers or springs? And only a light weight wheel works? Why not the OEM set? Although I know each are 41s lbs. I guess shaving 10-15lbs off each wheel/tire adds up nicely :o

Also, is it a decent option to go with Koni's and some eibach sportlines or teins? or is that weaaaaaaak
