[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 15089703, member: 20202"] Malcolm this one has got me scratching my head. I weighted my front cross member at 53 lbs which would mean yours is at a negative 17. The MM K-member dials in at 35 lbs and the spindly drag K-members hit the scales at about 25 lbs which is what I was referencing. I kept my stock A-arms and just braced the pivot points due to the fact the flanges were not supported on 4 sides. Steel stamping are actually pretty stiff and with coilovers no longer have a spring bearing-up against them supporting the weight of the car. I would have installed lighter tubular A-arms but the one thing I didn't like about them and did like about the factory A-arms was the huge bushings they accommodate over the smaller ones installed in the aftermarket units.
