Default Brembo BBK...

So I decided to do a BBK and hopefully a LW rear rotor shortly... After talking to some folks I went with the Brembo 380MM kit, black calipers and slotted rotors... Planned on Stoptech but after learning more Brembo won out...

Plan on doing a few track days this year and wanted the weight loss for drag racing... Putting them on Thur. so I will have pics and impressions... Just thought I would share some pics with them off the car and weights...

Brembo 380MM BBK
Rotor - 20.2 lbs
Caliper(with pads) - 11.0 lbs
carrier, line, etc. - 1.8 lbs

Total Weight - 33.0 lbs

Neal(NWS4Guy) weighed his Stoptech 355mm kit and the weights are below... I'll see what I get for the stockers? Neal got 41 lbs total... So I am at 8 lbs saving vs 10 lbs... Questions let me know and like I said I'll post much more onced installed...

Stoptech BBK ST-60:
Rotor - 18.10 lbs
Caliper - 8.9 lbs
Pads - 2.6 lbs
Caliper Carrier - 1.5 lbs

Total weight - 31.10 lbs

Also any chance you could take a pic of the inside of the caliper (pistons) and the top of the caliper? I've never looked at one up close and am curious.

Thanks!

Thanks dude!

That looks like a really nice caliper!

Have you thought about what pads you'll be running (street and track)?
