Ill wait and see, it's defs something else to think about. I'll just order up billet alloy through work and take it from there. I'll see how heavy the original stuff is when we remove it.

Yes well if it's built from original spec you have options to change later plus a little weight not the end of the world at that particular part of the car plus you only need to copy the oe arms for machining then
That would be a good plan just build it to the original spec then machine parts to suit. Don't know if alloy would be strong enough unless it's some sort of aero grade.Quote:
