I think the wheel weight wasn't an issue to be honest the YB has 500'ish HP.. so what if the wheel weighs a few pounds moree per corner.. as far as the stock suspension .. I would think you'd want the cr to be somewhat softer therefore allowing it to conform to the road a bit rather than being sprung very hard and mabye make an already some what scary car at speed even more undriveable at speed... I may be wrong but tht's what comes to my mind as to why he went the way he did with the car.... now days you may be able to go a bit more stiff as the technology has come so far since the 87-88.....
just my thoughts on the it
