I agree Lee. One thing to look at is what class you plan on running. ALOT of classes dont allow you to do away with the upper control arm. If you are looking to run a class that requires the uppers then BMR makes a nice kit that is lighter than stock and will use the factory style mounts. . Also Burkhart makes a kit but you will have to run motorplates.

Sorry, I have not run mine yet. The only reason I went with that style is because I got for less than half price from a guy that didn't use it. I think it is lighter because you don't have the upper a-arm and spindle. Madman or someone smarter than me could probably explain more.
