I just installed the 15/20 mm spacers this weekend, my car is not lowered and I think it actually makes it look lower than it did before. I thought it would have the opposite effect but I guess with the wheels sticking out more it makes the car look a little lower.

The total weight of all 4 spacers is ~10 lbs. You may find some answers to your questions in this thread.

Thanks for the info, I think I am going to just relax and not do this mod. Sway bars and I'll call it a day.
