The stock bolt is not an eccentric as the bearing slips over the stud on the subframe. The only way to adjust the arm length without removing it from either the subframe or the knuckle, spinning the rod end or arm and reattaching is to use a double adjuster.

Regarding weight, the tubing is chromoly as is the double adjuster. The clamp is 6061 aluminum and the jam nut and clamp screw are both titanium. It's pretty tough to make an adjustable arm lighter than this that's as strong as we want it to be.

You guys did great job on each part! Your arms are part of what made my car a class winning success at hillclimb this past weekend.

We have two sets of protoypes made and sent out for testing. The design of the 370z arms is completely different than anything we've done in the past. We had prototypes made previously that were similar to the 350z design but we're now trying something new that will offer caster and camber adjustment without removing the arm from the car. I know a lot of people have been waiting for these but the redesign should be worth the wait if all goes as planned. Hopefully I will have results soon and will be able to post some pictures of the new design and move forward with production.
