Default Unsprung Weight Savings Setup

I'm looking to get some ideas on a good unsprung weight setup (Wheels/Brake Kit). I have an AP2 and would like to stick with a stock size of 17". I am particularly interested in a Wheel/Brake Kit setup that will work well with each other (ie. clearence).

The CE28N's come in a 17x7.5 +50, 17x9, +63, which is one of the better setups from what I have read. Other wheel potentials include the SSR Type C and the Buddy Club P1 Racing QF.

Potential brake kits include the Wilwood & Spoon 4 piston. I would prefer a set of front and rear. I understand that Wilwood is working on a set for the rear.

Basically, I am looking for some input on any of the above items or some other setup that I may want to consider.

Thanks!!!

My 17" SSR Comps are 4 lbs lighter per wheel. Wilwood fronts save 30 lbs. That's 46lbs unsprung right there you can save. Coilovers are another 12-16 lbs too.

Be sure to gut that trunk!
