Default Unsprung weight

Has anyone really tryed much for the E-series falcons to try an eliminate unsprung weight?

At the moment, lightest rims I have are the EL XR rims, 18kg with a street tyre, B-series to FG steel rims are 21kg with a street tyre.

Any tips on suspension work to help promote quicker times?

I ran with the 21kg rims, making 42kg of unsprung weight by rims an I couldn't get anywhere close to my usual 2second flat 60ft time. instead i was doing 2.2-2.3.

Any tips? thanks
