Lighter front control arms

[SlimLim]

Hi all,

Are there any lighter yet just as strong, front control arms available off the shelf for our cars?

I saw someone made a tubular version that weighed less, but i think it was a one off.

Uppers or lowers?

Never seen an aftermarket lower. Beech makes some adj uppers but there prolly heavier as the stock uppers are alum and pretty light as is.

You can get replacement front uppers from Dorman...they are pretty damn light already

Sorry guys, i meant the front lower control arms. I have the JIC magic upper arms on my car.

Well, if you want to make some for my car, cutting down heaps of weight, and using the stock sized bushings let me know and we'll talk.
