Oooo UMI! I have a UMI panhard.

is that per side savings or total?

20lbs off the front would be great. add that with a fiberglass hood and you've dropped 40lbs

You can also go with aftermarket K-members that can drop anywhere from ~22 - 40 lbs

You can also save 5 -8 lbs per side by going to adj. coilovers with 2.5" x 8" - 12" springs, you save all your weight with the springs.

Or you can just drain your windshield washer resevoir , cost 0$ LOL!

The A-Arms are 8lbs a set, I know most coil over kits are 10lbs like the QA1 kit. UMI has some nice kits out with these items now
