Those with the composite suspension members will have the most weight savings, but those probably only come with the heavier/stiffer pistons on the performance variants to keep them highly competitive on paper.
Personal note 2: My fear that Gen6 is going to end up looking like a Scion FR-S competitor have not yet been quelled. I hope it has all been epic misdirect with the front clip, hood and those lights. "Body by Veilside, lights by APC, bred for the '95 Eclipse, now available in American RWD"? ;o(

The components they have showed as examples of weight reduction would be found on all models. So with that I would say it's safe to say the base models will see that 200lb loss. Performance models may see more, but could be offset by beefier components.
FR-S as a competitor? You are joking right?
