Lighter, race oriented Suspension Parts, Primarily Uprights

I am working on the cantilevered coil overs in my head and on the internet. No kit yet to measure from...
A chunk of weight would be shed with losing the strut mount and FFR extension bracket. Some weight would be gained with linkage, but I believe the bell crank ratio can allow for smaller stroke, lighter coil overs which can be mounted low and horizontal.
Im still hopeful that I can find a reasonably priced, ventilated racing spindle to adapt. I reserve the option of designing and casting some. Who has that RP printer?

The strut mount and extension bracket are used to connect the knuckle/hub to the upper control arm - they have nothing to do with the shock. So if you eliminate them, how would you attach the knuckle to the upper control arm?

As I said, I hope to find a spindle to use where I would only have to lower the upper arm mounting points. If I were to cheap out, I think a stock upright could be modified to accept a ball joint. I had a '64 Chevy Nova SS that had modified spindles for accepting disc brakes. Of course, if I went this route, it would get magnafluxed and stress relieved.
