Reducing unsprung weight will alter your handling. That may or may not equate to a lower et.
Reducing the overall weight of the car may or may not equate to a lower et. It could even make you slower, depending on where you need or don't need the weight.

Rotational mass has a greater effect with a longer stroke (distance from center of rotation). Brakes having a very short stroke will have a small effect in this area.
It will however drop static weight. Might improve stopping ability. Will definitely affect handling.
