Default For you data hogs. Some weight data on the Brembo 14" kit

All weights are per corner, front only.

Stock Setup:

Rotor: 21.8 lbs.
Entire setup (caliper, rotor, and pad): 36.65 lbs.


Alcon 6 pot kit:

Rotors (these were used a bit): 17.35 lbs
Entire kit (includes caliper, rotor, hat, adapter, pad): 28.10 lbs


Brembo 355mm kit:

Rotors (new): 16.8 lbs.
Entire kit (includes caliper, rotor, hat, adapter and pad): 27.95 lbs.


Disclaimer: The Alcon has a 6 pot caliper while the Brembo is 4 piston unit. The stock pads were used for 1.5-2K miles.


So, weight savings per corner over stock (the true comparitive) is 8.70 lbs for the Brembo and 8.55 lbs for the Alcon.

Default Maybe someone can post that data. I didn't have the AP and Stoptech setups...

Also, I'm trying to compare the 355 mm setups.

Anyone care to add to this data if they have available.

Default The AP 4-pots weigh a total of 20.5 lbs. per corner for a 330mm kit...

A 330mm rotor and hat weighs 13.5 lbs. and the caliper, bracket and pads weigh 7 lbs.
