Any body actually know the weight of the KAD alloy arms, complete with pins?

Already read that thread. I didn't get a conclusive answer.

As any body actually weighed them?

Both are modified for coilovers so a few bits chopped off here and there.

That's a bit pap Matt considering the weight claimed on the website!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I find that you need to hang the stuff to get a accurate weight! As your hand is still on it here .

I use some digital suitcase jobs

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Jonnys photo does include the radius arm pin and bearing and bush, are the KAD figures quoted bare?

The SC arms are a beautiful bit of kit though.

SC claim 1.75kg bare.. I just didn't realise that the steel bits would weigh so much. I was thinking I would lose at least 0.5kg overall. My KAD arms are currently fitted, so I'll compare them like for like when so swap them over.
