Weights of rear LCAs?

Anyone know the weights of aftermarket rear lcas? I'm in the market for a set. I'm most likely going with lakewoods because they're 90 bucks. Does anyone make a chrome moly LCA?

BMR sells chrome-moly versions too, http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F3-suspension.htm. The price ranges from $160 to $250 a set.

I can not help you on the weight of aftermarket LCA's. I would recommend contacting the manufacturer.

Are the Spohn LCA weights you listed for the chrome-moly versions?

Edit-- I don't know, I'll find out.


I remeber reading that poly bushings on the frame wouldn't be good because it could flex part of it. Anyone have a link to that post?

If that's the case, BMR has poly/rubber combos.

No thats for MS... the 4130 stuff weighs within an ounce of that list. Since it is 1.25x.095 same as the MS..
