I am in total agreement! setting the sag and making sure your stock components are in good working order is part of the suspenion setup and #1. I would also include making sure that the steering and swing arm bearings are in good shape and adjusted correctly. The SS likes to trash the steering bearings, there is little greese from the factory and they are open to the elements with no seals at all. (at least my 99 was this way).

Yea, the Carros are not the lightest wheels, just cheap and strong. Also, the 99 and newer ss has lighter wheels than the 98 and before. There is a couple pounds there.

I would love to have some carbon wheels just to see what improvement i could feel.
