I dont think your gonna drop too manny pounds swapping out suspension pieces. You can start off with lower control arms. I believe the Omni Power ones are lighter than stock. A couple of pounds here and there actually go along way You think of swapping out your battery as well to a smaller dry cell?

You're not really going to drop significant amt of weight on the suspension with some aftermarket parts. If there are some weight loss, its very minimal.

Are you lookin specifically to lose weight on suspension or overall car weight? If you're going to spend money, I'd put it on CF stuff like hatch/trunk and hood. More weight savings for your money there.
