A few weeks ago I questioned what a complete front suspension weighed. "Interested in the weight of a complete 68 A body front suspension to include K member, steering box, drag link, upper & lower control arms, front shocks, torsion bars, and complete stock disk brake setup(without wheels & tires). I have it out of the car but have no way to weigh it. Thanks, Max" One member said he had the weights but never brought them forward. Does anyone have a good number for a complete front suspension??

Thanks Jake68, great I'm sure the calipers and rotors will add quite a few more lbs and should probably bring it up to 150 to 160 lbs. For some reason I thought it would be more than that. Thanks again I probably didn't lose much weight on the front going to a blower and struts. Soon as I can dig up some scales I'll see what the damage is. Thanks Again
