i presume you are going to upgrade the rear as well when the time comes?
any weight savings over your old kit?

I imagine the new Floating rotor will be easier and quicker to swap than the strap system. The older strap system had 24 bolts plus the straps to worry about. The Floating rotor of the 9668 kit only has 12 bolts. It should be faster.
I'm not too worried about the rears right now. I can get rotors for my AP rear kit. And it's all working fine.
I don't know about weight differences between the Stillen and Essex kits. I briefly considered weighing some of the components, but I was so intent on the install, I didn't want to stop down and weigh a bunch of stuff. Plus, I only had worn down rotors for the old kit. I still have the old kit. I guess I could toss it on a scale. It's possible Essex has already weighed their components and could share that.
