Here's some info on the two products side by side. Compared to one another:
Measurements are from the outside of the spindle to the outside of the spindle in front of the lower a arm mounting location. Spindles are 2" wide so subtract an inch off both sides for true center to center spindle measurement. I also measured the height of the front bumper to see if the different arms affected ride height with the same shocks. They did not appear to at all. As you can see they were within a 16th of an inch of one another at approx 20 and 5/16" above the ground. This was good as it took out some opportunity for error when measuring the stances do to height variances.
Weights did not include hardware (no tie rod ends or spherical bearings)
Zbroz= Narrower stance approx 40 5/8" /Heavier 10lbs 5oz (total with stock tie rods)
Holz= Wider stance approx 41 7/8" /Lighter 7lbs 6oz (total with Holz tie rods)
Differences by my measurements are 1 1/4" in stance and 2lbs 15oz in weight.
The Arms alone weighed per side without tie rods:
Holz 3lbs 7oz
Zbroz 4lbs 14oz
Difference 1lb 7oz per side.
Center of Spindle to Center of Spindle Measurement:
Holz 39 7/8"
Zbroz 38 5/8"
Other observations:
P coating on ZBroz is very thick and glossy. Lower shock mounting nut only gets a couple threads on the bolt so using a longer bolt with these is smart. The upper shock mounting bolt is the perfect length. However, if you swap them out then the top will have the same problem, so be prepared to use a couple longer bolts.
Holz lower arms have more clearance inside the spindle. They are a direct replacement with the addition of the tie rods (which are included) using all of the stock hardware. Be careful not to clamp the rubber tie rod boots too far out from the sled bulkhead or they will tear when you steer all the way to the stop. I suggest leaving them loose on the smaller diameter tapered part of the tie rod.
