Default C4 IRS weight?

Im wondering how much a C4 IRS assembly (with coilovers) weighs in comparison to a standard solid rear (4 link w/ coils)


Also, does anyone know of a IRS assembly that works as well, but is maybe cheaper then a C4 IRS?

thanks

Depends on what it's going on? Car or truck? The Gen 2 RX-7 has a nice IRS that is used quite frequently in IRS swaps.
