Yeah, as already stated I seriously doubt you'll see any weight savings(most are heavier), but depending on the LCAs you'll see more tire clearance, there stronger with less flex, and there's a variety of different pivot ends you can chose from( traditional poly bushings, Poly-Ball Bushings, Johnny Joints, Spherical bearings, rod-ends, Roto-joints) .

The stock upfront control arms I would leave alone for a daily driver, they are designed to take the abuse of city streets with speed bumps, pot holes, dips etc..
My 2 cents

Polyjoints perform better than Poly and ride like rubber. Best of both worlds. These are adjustable as well. The non-adjustable are like $83.
UMI has them as well with their Rotojoints. Same concept. Founders is just cheaper and quality is there.

Once you change the rear end, lower your car, it's nice to have adjustable LCA's and adjustable pan hard rod so you can tweak your suspension.
