Carbon hood I don’t think is 40lbs I believe they’re 20-27lbs of reduction. Carbon doors you must not do unless you have a real full cage (not a half cage or BS full cage like studiorsr sells) to support the door areas in the event of an accident else you’re asking for trouble.

I’ve done a lot of weight reduction stuff on my m2 which granted is a different chassis and slightly more front biased weight distribution; all driving characteristic type changes like becoming more oversteery with less weight in the rear etc can be mitigated by changing alignment, adjusting coilovers, spring rates, etc so it’s not a big deal. Not to mention corner balance which helps a lot too. I wouldn’t make all these weight changes on a stock suspension which isn’t very adjustable.
