I have a grattenelli motorsports k-member, it saves like 26lbs. but you have to use tubular a-arms and coil overs. This was the best deal i could find but maximum motorsports makes one that i think could be used with stock a-arms but more expensive.

and upr retains all factory locations and geometry, plus their whole kmember/a-arm/coilover kit cost the same as just the MM k member

but the coilovers arent necessary. You can buy spring perches to retain the stock style springs.
