On my RSX the weight difference was quite noticeable. About the same weight reduction.

It's a really noticeable improvement in ride quality with just over 4 lbs less unsprung weight a corner (which is what my track setup comes to)... the car is much more planted and stable (which is also probably due to the wider track from better offset). Stock size sticky performance tires on lighweight 17x8 wheels (I have +36mm offset Kosei K4R's [~15.6lbs] with 215/45-17 Kumho Ecsta XS mounted) also really bring out the precision and quickness of the FRS chassis.
Nice BRZ you have there Guillaume. A track day at Spa would be fun!
