Are the upper A-arms any lighter than the factory pieces?

Ic. I just didn't know for sure. I thought I read somewhere that the factory pieces were actually a little lighter,but that could be a myth.

The factory uppers are lighter, not the lower. If you get aftermarket uppers get the adjustable ones with rod ends. They allow the suspension to move much better and allow you to tuck the wheel in.

Thanks man. Your car is awesome!
I've had thoughts for years of going to the dark side
And doing something along the lines of your car.
