Granted, the location of the coil in relationship to the suspension's pivot point has a different impact than static weight lost further outboard, like lighter brake calipers or control arms or whatever. But considering this reduction is a freebee, and no serious car guy looking for performance improvement would ever question the value of reducing unsprung weight, it'd be kinda stupid not to take advantage of the benefit in simply flipping them. I suppose if you were hard parking it, then there's no benefit to the OP...
