Default Lightest brakes who has them?

Im trying to make my car as light as possible. Im to the brakes...does anyone know the lightest weight combo out there for calpier rotors and pads?

Does wilwood, strange etc make any direct fit apps that are worth the $?

I have a 99 camaro

Thanks in advance!

racecraft or PA lightweight spindles with 3rd gen drag brakes. Can save 60-68 pounds I believe

Strange's brakes are the lightest, and nicest by far... I have kits available for you that retain the stock front hubs/spindles and a kit that will work with your rear. pm or call me if interested.

I also have compete front end kits avaialble soon including super lightweight spindles, kmembers, uppers with new lightened mount, and lowers for aftermarket shocks.

Default brakes

Svert..I have qa1s in front too will that matter? If not I think i would like to order a brake kit if the price is not too steep....Im looking for any way to make the car less heavy...dont think I want to do the whole k member thing until the next motor goes in....

please pm me with pricing....also does wilwood make anything for these cars? I hear good things about their products...
