Re: Do I want chromoly or mild steel k-member / a arms? I have read that for daily street driving, mild steel is the way to go. Im not too sure on weight differences, but probably not that big of a difference to notice.

Re: Do I want chromoly or mild steel k-member / a arms? The weight savings was not substantial enuff for me to get chrome moly.
I am getting the PA K member and PA lower A arms from our sponsor Speed Inc.
PA stuff comes in red and black. He has one extra black one there right now.
Tom also has a deal with the BMR upper and lower arms too.
I heard the weight difference is like 1-2 lbs.
I plan to drive about 8,000 miles this year with my car.
Should drop almost 50 lbs off the nose too.

Re: Do I want chromoly or mild steel k-member / a arms? It's closer to 40#, but I did notice one nice thing with the PA pieces. No more lost sockets!!! They all fall right to the ground. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

1 source says don't do it trishy, they are too light and too soft and will break

LMAO! I sold my T/A with a 10mm socket that had been hiding for over a year. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
I believe George reported 44# when he installed his CM? I'm trying to go off of memory.
