Default lightweight front crossmember

I keep looking at my front crossmember and without even taking it out of the car i know its heavy. Does anyone make a replacment that will free up some weight. Ive seen people drill holes and such in it but i want a whoel new unint. I know on my friends mustang it freed up nearly 50 lbs.

I already have radius arms, im looking for the crossmember near the steering rack. My buddy has one for his Mustang and it saved him nearly 40 lbs.

Heard z10 made the best ones. If not competition engineering. They sell the radius arms, crossmember, and something else. Forgot what.

yes exactly, i want a lightweight one, any ideas where i could get one? I could fabricate one but im not seeing too many ways to make it lighter other than to change materials. I tryied MMR and if anyone makes it they are the ones that usually have it. They thought it would be a good idea but couldnt give any assistance. Oh well ill jsut leave it in, in not into the hole cutting thing
