It won't suddenly be a Lotus, but I don't see how it could be heavier. As you mentioned the coil overs should save some weight but they added a few braces which probably countered it and even added a few pounds. But the removal of the rear seat, the addition of light weight front seats, the replacement of the center console and door panels with carbon fiber units, and the replacement of the exterior panels with carbon fiber will add up to some decent savings.
