Other than the obvious (less weight), a lot of SR swap or KA-T guys/girls with FMICs go with a lightweight battery simply because they're smaller in dimensions to clear FMIC piping to the throttle body (if they don't want to relocate the battery to the trunk). However, they're good for what a standard battery in an OEM does... they're not recommended if you have an audio system with high watt amps for woofers, etc.
