Default Brakes/weight reduction?

Anyone know how much weight savings it is swapping out the stock
pads and rotots for Power slot totors/Hawk pads? I have seen this combo advertised on Thunder Racing and other sites as being lighter, but it is always mentioned with the shocks and K member which I have already swapped out. I will eventually need to swap out these parts, so I am just curious of the weight savings since it is my favorite mod.

Your favorite mod is weight savings?

I have seen 100lbs dropped off the front end with k members, qa1 shocks, and a light weight brake setup.

I have IRotors and they are a little over 1lbs each lighter than stock. Also they are working great with Hawk HPS.

I was hoping someone here had done this swap and could tell me the weight diference. I saved 46lbs with the K memeber/a arm set. I am not sure how much came off when I put on the Hals. I am curious what the difference in stock to the Power slot/Hawk combo was.
