6 lbs lighter per, i believe a thread was made comparing the two and im not taking the time to look for it. The spoiler's advantage in drag coefficient adds zero to the handling/downforce due to the design being based more on looks rather than performance. I'll give the brakes credit, however, the Akebono design has proven to be inefficient and suffer from fade after a hot lap or two. The VLSD, well, its a VLSD. Leaving only SRM to prove its worth, and it does, however, an experienced heel toe-er like myself can execute the same function. I never once argued that for 3k, the SP is a great deal, however, some of the points brought up about how the SP will outperform the base in every respect are false. I have a feeling this thread is quickly going to turn into yet another pissing match, so I'll respectfully bow out before it does, i've spoken my piece.
