Alpinas definitely weigh less but not that big of a difference considering what everyone is saying about Hamanns being heavy. Weighed them before I put them on the car but suddenly cannot remember the figure, think its something like 20kg each.

Yeah I got them from rev performance. If you are looking to buy from them make sure you specify you want the BR Series, not the V1 Series. It's only slightly more expensive but are better built.

There are some really good reviews about BC coil overs! What r your spring rates? Did u opt for the extended adjustment for the rear? (adjusting the rear damping on my hotbits is a PITA!)
