my thinking is that switching those big hunks of cast iron to aluminum would save a substantial amount of weight. if somone could weigh a set of hub cariers front and back would be great. i could calculate the weight saving from going to aluminum based on that

I guess it will come at some point. You can even include the ride height lowering in the hub to maintain stock geometry.
That's some expensive parts anyway. Like 2k for all four corners.
