With the base model, you get similar handling improvement when swapping out from the heavy stock 18's to the light weight Nismo 19's. There's a major improvement in feeling the suspension doing its job controlling the car instead of having to control the car AND the heavy wheels. Maybe a 20 pound reduction all the way around. Hard to explain but I'm sure you know what I mean.

Also, reduced weight from ditching the cats and stock exhaust for ART pipes and HKS high-power exhaust, probably saved about 35 lbs total there.

The total weight loss alone is equivalent to about a 6 - 7 hp gain.
