You need to do some more research before you pull the trigger. All the questions you've asked have been asked and debated a thousand times. Search up the components you think you are interested in.
Bob at Exotic, or Tom at Tbyrne usually have the best prices. They are on the boards religiously, so you know the customer service is there.
The price matching is up to YOU the consumer.

Also I am certain I have seen a Torque arm that was mentioned a pound lighter than the stamped steel one.
I would be more concerned about where you have the torque arm bolt on, the transmission or body. A good torque arm can put more power to the ground, which will help your time a whole lot more than 5 or so extra pounds

But your car is an '02. So you have a Torsen diff.
less mass...faster accelleration as I understand it.. .easy to get it going...
now, keeping it going less mass, less rotational energy...(i.e. harder on engine I suspect)

I need to make a decision soon. I want the Trutrac Moser 9" But I still want my ABS and I dont have TCS.
I also want to get anything as light as possible. I know I will lose some HP with the bigger rotational force with the aluminum driveshaft, and a bigger ring gear and beefier axles. Plus I am putting on more weight with the new rearend. Plus more weight with the torque arm. and even a couple of pounds with the 3.5" aluminum driveshaft.
So If anything that would help me lose a few ounds off my car, that would be great. I want less weight for better agility when I take my car to the track and for less weight at the dragstrip.
