Our modest 2.5 liter engines need all the unsprung weight savings they can get!

RN, I can not tell much. The Seat Of The Pants test feels good but its probably because I know what it looks like. LOL
I hope nothing happens to the wheels (I dont have locks). Fortunately for me my office has a gated security perimeter and my neighborhood is gated as well and I park in the garage. With all that said it would be really sad to see this car on blocks.
Thanks for the complements. I love the look and the ride. I had them rebalanced today (the first shop made a mess of the weights) and I was cruzin at about 85-90 with no shake and it was smooth.
The handling feels great and I honestly dont notice the ride being rougher like I would have thought.
Thanks again all.
