Then what you get are brakes that function as well as two rotor designs plus the 8lbs per wheel of unsprung weight savings.

it appeared by the posts that the stock brakes sucked compared to stock standard 2rotors-i understand they are a consumable, but if u immediatly need to change the pads because they suck, then u arent consuming the first set. which sucks. but thats just the way i read it, coulda misinterpreted it. it happens.
dont think its 8lbs..maybe more like 4-5, that caliper looks waaaay bigger than the 1st version. when the 1st version first came out i think they claimed 6 or 7lbs dif
it seems most of the weight is saved from the rim, so couldnt u possibly have two ztl rotors, and two smaller calipers and come out with slightly better brakes with out changing the weight much if any?
