Actually yes, there is. Albeit small. If I remember correctly, our current set up saves a scant 3lbs over the OEM leaf and shock package.
BUT..
Our new Feather Light Generation coilovers will have an additional weight savings....stay tuned!

Supporting vendors have that priveledge. Like others have said, don't get all upset about it, if you don't like the duplicate posts don't read them...seems simple.

Very true about the Coil over install. I experienced the very same when I installed my coil overs this spring. I was shocked at how improved the car felt in every aspect !
Key points I read:
1.) It makes the car easier to drive, and easier to drive faster. I agree 100%.
2.) There are some great points in here that dispel the myth that coilovers are for race cars only. I agree totally. I don't race my car but wow did it ever drive better, and soak up the bumps so much better than before.
3.) Ride Quality is improved, not worsened. I agree 100%.
I also noticed that steering feel is much improved, and the car turns much easier now. Hard to describe, but I noticed it immediately !
Good post thank you !

PS.... There are some haters on here with just about everything. Don't may any attention to it... Its sad but there is always one in a bunch...
