Default Lightweight Pulley

Im getting a new alternator put in after Christmas, and was going to pick up a lightweight pulley set from ECS, if it was worth it. Has anyone had experience with these, or can give me some numbers to expect? As always much appriciated friends, and Happy Holidays to all!

Save your money on the pulley's for the cost and save up for the downpipe as I see it isn't listed in your signature. The benefits of the lighter pulleys is so minor as not to be noticed. Doing all of them you might save 1# of weight, getting rid of the dual mass flywheel with a lighter single mass steel will save many pounds (stay away from the aluminum flywheels for driveability sakes).

42DD and front mount intercooler were next on my list. As, for the flywheel, I would most likley upgrade my clutch at the same time. Any suggestions? This is most likley where I will be purchasing from http://www.lmperformance.com/spec.asp
