Since the OEM units are breaking, figured rather over build it and take the weight penalty.
Sorry for a partial thread jack, but you say you chose steel for this part because of duty cycle.........yet the Lower Rear Control arms you make are aluminum?

Is the clutch fork really seeing that much more force/use than the rear suspension?
