what tyres are you using to get it to 24.1kg :scared:
ive just weighed my new pilot sport 2,s 225/40/18 and they are 9.8kg + pescara at 12.0201 = 20.92kg
so thats only 1.62kg heavier

How will taking out of 96kg of the sprung weight of the car affect things?
As you can probably tell, I do not quite understand the whole sprung/unsprung weight side of things!
