PA light weight spindles?
A friend found these. http://paracing.com/index.php?cPath=...1a8f7cb70df3df
It says they weigh 6.5 pounds each I wonder how much the stock ones weigh? I sent them an email 4 days ago and never got an email back.

I have the AJE spindles, they use third gen brakes.
Here is what the AJE looks like, been to lazy to swap it all and I'm still up in the air about losing my power steering.
I would bet between my MS PA K-member/stock spindle/UMI CM lower arms/aerospace brakes and the CM AJE K-member/manual rack (and loosing the PS pump)/AJE lower arms/AJE spindles/wilwood 3rd gen brakes its less than 20 lbs difference total. I assume the PA ones are similar, not a huge weight savings but you can get a drop spindle and it looks better then the stock stuff anyhow. If you have a super low car the drop would be more important than the couple pounds of weight IMO.

I dont remember offhand, I had all the stuff off the car a while back and the spindle without the hub/bearing wasnt very heavy so I'm just going by feel. I am going to put one of these fabricated ones on a scale when i go to the garage later. I think they weigh more then the PA weight listed.

I wasn't aware that AJE made a spindle too.. I was planning on doing their k memebr and upper/lower a arms adn manual rack all at once over the winter, the spindles would be nice, and if I could indeed bolt up 3rd gen brakes the cost savings over the 4th gen vs the 3rd gen (going with strange front and rear) would probably cover alot of the spindle cost.
