Default aerospace pro street brakes

Anyone know how much weight I will drop by going to the aerospace pro street
front brakes for my Z?
If I can save 35-40 pounds over my oem's, I will be all for it.

My strange, which are probably similar, saved 75 pounds front and rear, however I opted to run stock hubs in the front. Had I gone with their aluminum hubs there would have probably been another 10 pound savings. The problem with aluminum hubs is you can't run stock style wheels, which was a no go for me.

that's good weight savings. Now, am I right in thinking that with a rotor diameter off 11.75 inches, that they should fit within a 15" weld rts front wheel?

I run the strange brakes also, and have been quite happy with them. I didn't weigh it, but I'd have said 75 lbs for the brakes and the tubular spindles combined.

I do run the aluminum hubs, and you are forced to run skinnies. But I've had zero issue DD. Just leave following distance. Also you lose ABS with the hub conversion.
