Default upper control arm heavier than lower control arm, Normal???

well i recently slid into a curb and i went to midas to get my lower control arm replaced and after he replaced it, the guy said that it was weird that my upper control arm is heavier than my lower one? is that normal? if so then what is the purpose of that?

ps i have a 95 prelude sr-v

Stop going to Midas, didn't you see that new report were they were caught scamming people. But anyways the upper should be lighter.
