I would suspect the original GM piece would be the lightest of any of them. As far as the aftermarket is concerned, it seems all of them are just as good as the next (excluding Spohn's preload thing) so which one is the lightest. It's not listed on the websites from what I've seen.

 

I happen to have a couple or GM wonderbars, my version of steering brace and a Faibanks diigital scale that measeres to .01 lbs. The GM bars weighed 2.92 and 2.98 lbs, so call it just under 3 lbs. I measered several of my TDS steering braces and they averaged 3.66 lbs, so call it just under 3.7 lbs. I've posted this info previously on this site. I'll add the weight info to my product description.

I woulnd't worry about weight. They are all about the sime size and should weigh a pound or two total. The weights are probably fractions apart from each other.

 

I wouldn't worry about weight of a wonderbar, it's sprung weight. There are a lot more pieces that you can nit-pick that are unsprung weight that'll help more.

 

Oh, I'm not really worried about the weight differences, I just wanted to know. I'm a curious kinda guy.

 

Lon, have you weighed a Spohn piece? Allowed to post the number?

 

I have not. You'll have to ask someone that has purchased one of Spohn's braces to weigh it. This isn't the first time I've posted the weight of my version. I haven't yet seen the weights of my competitors versions posted.

Lon, your weights, is that the current version, or the first design that was very similar to the gm one?

 

Current design. The original design is 2.8 lbs. I just happend to have one of them at hand. A customer had upgraded from the original design to the new one a while back.
