Well you'd have to find the weight of your wheels, brake calipers, brake rotors, studs, lug nuts, brake shields, and control arms and that would give you an approximate unsprung weight number, then just subtract that amount from the total weight of the car for sprung weight.
Total weight distribution is like 51/49 front/rear so the sprung weight numbers will probably be close to the same over the front and rear.

There's a thread with a bunch of parts weight. It may help you find some data.

Thanks for the info so far. I was hoping someone already had this for the stock car. I might have to bust out the calculator and look up those weights.

I thought the 8 had a 50/50 weight distribution?
