ha-ha.....She's a good one!
In terms of ride height am happy with it at the front but will just tweak it slightly at the back, will leave it to the guys who geo it to see what they think is best.

As a little update I've put below the weight saving from the wheels and tyres alone.
Will put the details of the weights of the hubs/brakes/studs to see if there is any weight saving there too.
All the below are based on Toyo 888's.
Oem 17"s
Fronts
Wheel 10kg
Tyre 8.6kg
Total per corner 18.6kg
Total front 37.2kg
Rears
Wheel 11.5kg
Tyre 10.8kg
Total per corner 22.3kg
Total rear 44.6kg
Total 81.8kg
Team Dynamic 16/17"s
Fronts
Wheel 7.9kg
Tyre 10kg
Total per corner 17.9kg
Total fronts 35.8kg
Rears
Wheel 8.6kg
Tyre 10.8kg
Total per corner 19.4kg
Total Rears 38.8
Total 74.6kg
Ultralite 15"s
Fronts
Wheel 6.6kg
Tyre 9kg
Total per corner 15.6kg
Total fronts 31.2kg
Rears
Wheel 6.6kg
Tyre 9kg
Total per corner 15.6kg
Total rears 31.2kg
Total 62.4kg
So going from Oem to Team dynamics saves 7.2kg un-sprung weight.
Going from Team dynamics to Ultralite's 12.2kg un-sprung weight.
And best of all going from Oem to Ultralite's is 19.4kg un-sprung weight!
Overall I'm happy with that, Should be a miniscule discount with the hubs/discs/studs so can say its a 20kg saving over Oem.

The Elise brake discs save about 500g each compared to the regular plain VX220 discs as they use thinner wear surfaces and a larger air-gap.
Only the optional cross-drilled turbo discs were the same as on the Elise.
So about another 2Kg saved
Bye, Arno.

Thanks Arno,
Its on the to do list but I just cant justify the extra £350 for a set off disks at the moment.
Got other things to spend the money on!
