Strange here, but I only have them on front for now. They save bout 50lbs. on the front and 25lbs on the rear.

I'd like to have some more info on this too, but more so for a street oriented car. How is driving with them on the streets? Is stopping distance diminished vs stock brakes? Had them in the rain yet? Will they allow enough clearance to run a larger diameter 15 inch wheel on the front?
