Unfortunately, I think it may already be gone. I'll check to see if we can get a number for you. I did wonder about this myself and although I didn't weigh it, I did pick it up. Actually, I was surprised at how light it was. With the exception of the strut caps, the metal used is very thin. I'd guess that the whole assembly doesn't weigh more the ten pounds at the most. I'd bet that we'll probably at best break even on weight and might wind up adding a pound or three by the time we're done. OTOH, the final result will be far stiffer. Its really pretty amazing how minimal most of the factory welding is around the towers; its not hard to believe that some RSR suspensions have experience stress cracks here. There's got to be a lot of flex in the stock setup.
