Ok i've heared everyone talk about how for about 2 grand you can drastically improve the handling of your vehicle... well I saved up a little more than that and I have a stock ST that I'd like to fix up in terms of handling... so what should I do? i already hav a CF hood making the car a little lighter but can anyone point me in the right direction as to what else i should look to buy or do?

btw 1/2 lb. per wheel is just a guess, it could be more if you're going from OEM 21mm toyota mag shank lugs to lightweight splined "tuner style" lugs. heck, even just regular "tuner-style" splined lug nuts weigh a lot less than OEM toyotas.
