Thanks for the information everyone. I once found a link when I first joined that listed the weight of every part in the car down to the radio. Would anyone happen to have that link by chance or that list?

I feel that once I get the new rims and bodykit, I'll go from there to adjust what suspension components that I want. Though I do feel that I should get at least some swaybars but I'll wait though.

Don't let body roll confuse you, as it has little effect on tires. Body roll is just an indicator of weight transfer. You can slow or speed it up [springs and shocks, and sway bars] but you cannot change it, without changing body weight!

Well said!
