Default Does this sound like a good list so far?

I am looking at doing some suspension mods. How does this list sound so far?

-Aftermarket K member w/ a-arms
-SFC
-LCA
-Panhard Bar
-Adjustable Torque Arms
-Throw in a driveshaft loop while in there.

Are they any con's to the list?

What would the weight savings be with the aftermarket k etc.

its a good list to have after you think about what spring/shock your going to run along w/ swaybars. pretty much what have is a bunch of parts on your list that will put power on the ground. not help u with street handling or track.

Well, then:

-Aftermarket K member w/ a-arms:
Reliability unknown, should save ~30 - 40 lbs.
-SFC
Highly discussed whether really needed or not (I don't have them on any of my three Camaros and my cars are still dimple-free and not falling apart), will add +20 lbs to the car.
-LCA
Stock ones work well IMO; if you want to eliminate bind completely; go with rod ends on both ends (although ride might suffer a little)
-Panhard Bar
Not 100% needed if your rear isn't off center; if you want one, get one with rod ends on both sides
-Adjustable Torque Arms
Don't know much about them.
-Throw in a driveshaft loop while in there.
Why not; couldn't hurt.

Good luck.
