Are Tein Basics lighter than stock suspension?

Just ordered them.... Finally!

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.





Last time she will look lifted.

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.
