spohn tubular a-arm with spring pocket

have you guys seen this: http://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/show...hreadid=271287 ?

looking good. i've got a few questions about some of his stuff, but those a-arms will do.

they look jus like the arms that bmr and pa racing sell.
they remove a bit of unsprung weight from the front end, always a good thing
they would be a nice compliment to a tubular k-member.

I like a lot of the stuff Spohn sells but his engineering is so overkill it makes me not want to buy such a heavy part.
Look at his brace imbetween the 2 bushings on that LCA. Those are NOT needed. The triangulation is in the k-member! Stuff like that annoys me.
If I could advice Steve I would tell him to drop some weight and get rid of the nifty "spohn" laser (or waterjet) cut into the spring perch... save me money.
Even his torque arm is heavy. He obviously builds his stuff to never break but BMR has "ultimate" and "light weight" options, this is why I like BMR and other compaines. Steve just offers the strongest stuff for the fastest cars... I don't have a 9 second car so why would I want such a heavy steel part?
I was honestly disapointed with the front LCAs for the 3rd gens, the 4th gen ones look good. I will give him props for using stock size bushings in the LCAs, the other companies use smaller bushings (again lighter weight )
