i didn't put them on a scale, but after picking them up to mount them and hauling arround the old set, i'd say they're withing about 1lb of the stock set. they're not the least bit heavy.
tires are 225/45x17 SO-3s. looking at the gap between the struts and tires, i might be able to run 235/45s. if i upgrade to coilovers, 235s would definitely fit, and 245s might be possible (thought i'm not sure about running them on an 8" rim).

Hehe the stockers look like a POS compared to your new set. If you dont mind me asking, how much for the set and where? I'm kinda shopping around too. Thanks
