All and all, I think a regular sport suspension equipped car with a nice set of lightweight wheels and tires (totaling ~40lb) will be a far better improvement to the car than an m-sport suspension setup.

13 x 4 x ~5 = 260lbs dead weight equivalent.
I don't understand your equation.
Standard wheels & tires are 53 lbs each or 212 lbs unsprung weight.
What would lightweight wheels & non-RFT tires weigh?

How do you estimate unsprung weight of active suspension pieces?
