Default Carbon Fiber Strut

Does anyone make a real carbon fiber front strut bar?

Has anyone weighed the stock strut bar?

as in.......a strut bar that is 100% CF? i dont think that would be good since it would flex. the stock one weighs a little less than 10lbs i think (from me holding it and a 10lb weight)

All CF would just break wouldn't it? It couldn't really be tensioned the way metal can.

If you are interested in a lightweight strut bar, ARC makes a titanium one .. The bar and base are titanium.. The bar itself weighs 1.2 lbs.. The entire unit can't weight more than 3-4 lbs total.. expensive though
