Tubular Lower Control Arm Thread

Here are the weights that I came up with using my trusty old bathroom scale. (May not be exact) Interesting if nothing else.

Torsion bar setup

340 torsion bar 7.2 lbs
Lower control arm 11.3 lbs
Strut Rod 3 lbs
Bump stop brackets (Cut Off) .5 lbs
Upper control arms 3.1 lbs
Shock 3.5 lbs

Total 28.6 x 2 = 57.2 lbs

Coilover Setup

Coilover with adapter 5 lbs
Spring 4 lbs
Tubular lower control arms 7 lbs
Tubular upper control arms 3 lbs (guess)
Aluminum strut rod (mine) 2.6 lbs

Total 21.6 x 2 = 43.2 lbs With 2 J bars and brackets 7.2 lbs x 2 = 14.4 lbs + 43.2 = 57.6 lbs

I don't care about unsprung weight, this is total weight.

So with the coilovers and extra bracing, which the front end on these cars need badly, you still come out the same weight.
