An integrated lead flexure or suspension including an insulating layer, a plurality of traces on the insulating layer and a stainless steel base layer on the side of the insulating layer opposite the traces. The traces are free of a conductive shield layer on the side opposite the insulating layer. One or more voids extend through the stainless steel layer below the traces. The voids are filled with a high conductivity metal layer.
