Just ordered them.... Finally! :wiggle:

Also looking for user feedback for any of you guys who have them. So many choices out there from 16 ,24, 32 way adjustable coilovers. I figured i am not going to be doing any road racing so i best stick with a simple coilover system that improves the look of my ride and offers some improved handleing feedback.

I would guess "YES". I put Tein coilovers on my WRX and did weigh them against the stock assembly and they were a few pounds lighter.

Nah, I dumped all the info I had on the car when I sold it (I weighed everything that was installed and removed when I modify).

Since the guy that started this thread (DD2k5) has already ordered them maybe he can weigh them and post it up for us.

I have the stock spring/shocks in a box so I can weigh them when I get home.
