I think I'll be lucky to even get that but I concur spending that much money may not be worth it hence I'm asking about this and see what peoples feed back are.

LOL it's a legitimate question though.

There is no direct conversion of unsprung weight to static weight. Yes, removing unsprung weight is always beneficial but trying to save a few pounds on a street car doesn't make much sense. I didn't notice any dramatic acceleration performance improvement when I went to 2-piece rotors and AP calipers.

Thanks Chris for your input, I saw on another thread where you upgraded to the AP set up its nice! I plan to change my rims and tires with a light weight setup as well, probably going with the TE-37SL not sure about tires. Any suggestions?
