How Heavy is my Brake Setup?

[Mystic]

Well after all the weights been thrown around recently i thought it worthwhile to catalogue them all in one place. (For those that care ;))

Standard VT* Brake Setup
1 VT Caliper minus pads & brake fluid = 3.67kg -Weighed by Mystic
1 VT Caliper fully assembled with pads = 4.27kg -Weighed by Mystic
243mm Standard brake disc = ??

266mm Brake Setup
1 307 Bosch Caliper minus pads and fluid = 4.33kg -Weighed by Curran
266mm Standard 307 Disc = ??

283mm Brake Setup
1 GTI-6 Caliper minus pads & fluid = 5kg -Weighed by Tim_W
1 GTI-6 Caliper assembled = 6kg -Weighed by Tim_W
283mm Standard GTI-6 Disc = 5kg -Weighed by Tim_W

HiSpec Billet 4 Brake Setup
1 Billet 4 Caliper = 1.5kg -Weighed by Toad
Mounting brackets = 0.2g -Weighed by Toad
283mm Discs = ??

406 Brembo Brake Setup
1 brembo caliper minus pads & brake fluid = 2.82kg -Weighed by Mystic
1 brembo caliper fully assembled with pads = 3.58kg -Weighed by Mystic
283mm Standard Xantia V6 Disc = ??



If anyone else knows any extra weights or disagrees with the weights posted lemme know! :)

i'll be able to get the 266 disc and pad weights this week when they arrive

it would be good to have some more accurate weights for the 283 set up also

[Mystic]

Nice one dude, i'll try get the disc weights of the standard & brembo ones this afternoon

[AlexB]

in a few weeks i might have my wilwoods off so can weigh them for you

[Curran]

could this be added to the FAQ's so its easy to find?

[Curran]

a pair of ferodo pads for the 266mm 307 calipers weigh 714g

so one assembled caliper is 5.04kg


still waiting on the discs
