I am changing my:
World force bars to ? (something strong and lighter, 2" rise 26" width or so)
Peddles to ? (something w/ bearings and semi light, Platform with spikes)
cranks to ? (something lighter than hussefelts)
stem to thomson from azonic shorty.

How do these parts rate that I already have and is it worth the weight savings VS. the strength to change them?

I was looking at the saint cranks but it has a limited bb connected to it, this would make it a little hard to reach a 118mm to accomodate my e-13.

Thomson stem, protaper bars.
I wouldn't go light on cranks at your weight. Saints are probably as light as I'd go. Do you really need a 118 bb for you bike. Most e13 setups get away with a 113-115. That's one of the great things about the e13.

Yes on the B bracket, I ordered a 118 fsa today, My granny bolts ring grinds into the wall of the boomerang/backplate bad.
I even went as far as to grind it down a little and it has a magnetic personality I guess, it keeps grinding.
I talked to a buddy and he said do the 118 and call it a day. I can get my legs away from the swingarm this way.
