LOL lighter ? the whole shock weighs less than 5kg... if it makes it 4.5kg... really ? is there a point ?

It's unsprung weight Steve. If you can save 20% then that's significant. If there's one place where weight should be shed then it's from the suspension, wheels and brakes. Increaseing the ratio between sprung & unsprung improves ride and handling. It's why racers spend a fortune on lightweight wheels.
