RB listed the rotors on the front to be 4.5lbs lighter each and the rear rotors to be 6lbs lighter each, compared to stock rotors.

Total Rotor Weight Savings per RB = 21lbs.

After moving the RB rotors and Stock rotors around in the shop, the fronts rotors felt a lot lighter than Stock ones. I have hard time believing there is only a 4.5lb difference between them. The reason I say this, is because the rear ones felt closer to the stock weight, but yet had a bigger weight difference. Don't get me wrong, the rears where def lighter than stock.

Caliper is listed at 4.5lbs and 6lbs with bracket if I'm not mistaken. The brackets where a lot lighter than stock (like a 1.5lbs). Add pads in at roughly 3lbs granted and you are at ~9lbs for a complete assembly.

Total Caliper Assembly Weight Savings = ~10lbs
^In my org post like a d-bag, I forgot to include a pad weight...sorry guys

My Bad.

[/QUOTE]All of the major BBK kits weight about the same as OEM brakes (a little less than std to be fair), which was a big turnoff to me. I DIDN'T BUY THIS KIT BECAUSE I'M CHEAP!!! I bought this kit because I come from a racing history and for my application this I talked to their service department for hours, trust me, they know their Sh*t.

Oh I'm prob letting the cat out of the bag, but someone already asked about. "Why only a 4 pot setup?" Lets just say RB has a surprise for us next season with something bigger and badder (?) for the front end and we can still use the 4 pot calipers on the rear! Sorry RB, but people needed to know that so please DON'T hate me!!!!! Plus now the pressure is on to finish your R&D earlier! [/QUOTE]

Misleading information. !!
I also contacted racing brake and exchanged info with Alex and Kristin and was informed that they are Not working on a rear caliper upgrade.

Link above shows Stoptech 355 kit for 2200 which is less than racing brake kit an offers the rear bbk set so the option is there for the future.
Please clarify

A rear kit will be forthcoming as we worked on both front and rear setups with them.

Why is it that racingbrake is not aware of this?

I can't tell you what RB management tells their employees. I have only worked with the owner and no one else. To say that RB is not aware of this is misleading.

Glad to hear about another kit gettin installed! I already told them to sell me their first kit for the rear. It's going to get made one way or another...meaning I'll just have them custom make it for me worse case.

I have RB rotors on my G37. Car stops on a dime... Threw in stoptech pads in the front and project mu's in the rear, and it's amazing. When I got corner balanced, I weighed 3690 w/ me in it (I'm like 170ish), so the cars not that light to begin with either.
