Default aje k member, a arms, coilovers???

I have been reading about how much weight savings the AJE tubular k member, tubular a arms and coilovers can give. I really know nothing about stuff like this. What are the other benefits other that coilovers being able to adjust the ride height? Is the k member and a arms just for weight savings or does this also benefit my suspension? Does anyone know how much these parts cost and which kit to get for a 95 vert gt? I have an eibach pro kit right now with kyb strutsa nd shocks. I take it I will have to replace everything in the front?? Will this effect my brakes? I plan on doing a 13 inch brake kit very soon too. Maybe at the same time if I have to. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Oh, and I already have steeda cc plates.

if you do K member with coilovers you will need new CC plates. some are only for coilovers some are for regular struts
its mainly for weight savings and being able to run coilovers. i got the D&D setup

did you save a lot of weight? I hear it's like 100 lbs. But I've been reading and some people say they are unsafe and can break. And that the whole weight of the car rests on the cc plates because of the coilovers. I'm just skeptical. If I do the swap, should I do it at the same time I do my heads and cam? Does it make it way easier at the same time?

man it was so easy to install the K member. took me not even a jack to install it. toss that beotch right in there. stocker was a pain. i did mine without a motor in the car.

there is a street version and track version. track isnt as braced as street one. and by no means jack the car up with one. its to hold motor and thats it. here is what my D&D looks like
