Weight of Chromoly parts
In general do Spohn's Chromoly, Adj-PHB, LCA's weigh less then the stock stamped steel parts. I see there front A-arms weigh less then stock!?!

Exact same weight huh, not even a pound lighter 
Well atleast they aren't heavier. Suck to get the non cro-mo ones then.

For that matter, 4130 (chrome molly) will weigh exactly the same and have the same strength as the same part made in the same thickness mild steel (1018 or 1020, 1025 if you can get it will be stronger and cheaper) unless someone goes to the bother/expense of having the whole part heat treated/hardened after it is manufactured/welded. For the life of me I can’t figure out why people are so eager to use 4130…
