Default Quick Help.. What lite weight brakes??

Ok i think my brakes (rotors,braks) are shot and was planning on upgrading to something lite weight in the spring but they are giving out now(pads gone and rivits hitting the rotors so the rotors are toast). What lite weight brake systems are out there. I would say i need something for the street(as is is my daily driver) but i want something liter then stock. Im not too intrested in more stoping power as in a 6 pistion system, just something to lighten my fat pig (3,800 race weight). So give me some suggestions and if you know how much weight was lost in the change... I have heard that 30lbs was lost changing to a lite weight system for the fronts alone

Strange makes a nice piece along with wilwood. I got the wilwood in a deal when I got my front end. However the strange claim about 30-35lbs along with the wilwoods. These are street set-ups. The only difference between street and drag are rotors. On a street set-up the ar vented and drag they are not.


Edit: Aerospace make a brake kit too. Alot cheaper also and like 5lbs heavier then the above mentioned
