Well I just resently purchased some used Megan coilovers from a member on here and am in the process of swapping them out. Just out of curiousity I decided to weigh them in my never ending quest to lighten this pig!

These results are from a stock strut+Tein S-Techs going to a Megan street setup. Not sure if other coilovers are similar in weight or not, should be.

Stock Fronts 20lbs each

Coilovers 11lbs each

Stock Rear 10lbs each

Coilovers 7lbs each

So in all not only did I greatly improve my handling and traction but also cut 24lbs off the weight! Just thought Id share the results so people looking at ways of reducing weight or trying to decide if they want coilovers can see the advantage.

 

good point!

I knew my IX felt lighter w/ the Zeals installed.

good coilovers are a great update for evos...

how the heck did you do 11.68 on stock turbo?

 

My cars always been very fast for the mods. I feel Im a pretty decent driver but I also think I got a strong runner. My best trap is 120 and thats at 2250ft elev., all on a mail-in flash.

 

Good stuff, I will have some megans soon...

 

This is a great old thread that should be revived. I just purchased a set of Ohlin DFV and wished I had weigh the sucker before putting them on my car. Wonder if anyone knows the weight of the Ohlin's?
