lightweight: half the weight of a standard steel arm and is suited to light road use, rallying, sprint, hill-climb and heavy circuit use


weigh a steel one, divide by 2 and voila!

Have a look at the specialist components ones. They weigh even less and are cheaper.

yes, but they look non-standard, so you can't use them to reduce weight in certain classes of racing. Not that I condone bending the rules like that.

Unless your in england or have someone that can send you the kad arms over you wont be paying kad uks price.

They have an agent over here, so all orders go through them.

Just watch out with the specialist components arms as they are:

"• Suitable for use with coil spring suspension only"

So they are not for every one.

I would ring the AUSTRALIAN K.A.D. Distributor for the wight but don't be surprised if they don't know as they couldn't help me much with any info on other KAD products. :oops:

HI r32
The rear alloy arms weigh 2.3 kg, but with alittle bit of grinding you can get a little bit of weight off that

Are there problems with them on the road?
Or just a hassle to engineer?
