Default is there a brake kit weights thread?

i'm wondering if there is a thread where people have compiled the various total weights of brake kits for the 350Z

calipers
calipers + rotors

etc?

I'm looking for a brake upgrade and one of the things i would like to consider is total system weight.

In a word, no. While unsprung weight is an important consideration, most people are too involved in putting those BBK on to weigh them and post the weights.

When I swapped to OE brembos I weighed the front set but forgot to weigh the rears before they went on the car. Best I can do, I have never seen weights of brakes on the forum before.

The stock 06+ rotor, front caliper, and pads weighed 39.2 lbs per side.
The brembo front caliper, pads, and Z1 2-piece rotor( ~5 lbs lighter than a normal rotor) weighed in at 25.8 lbs
That's 13.4lbs per front wheel.

Didn't bother, but never had an issue stopping since installed
