I have a friend with the Aerospace kit on his 03 Cobra.
I'll ask and see if he weight any of the parts.

Not 35 lbs off the front.. The difference is 2.8 lbs lighter per each rotor for a total of 11.2 lbs. No, it's not worth the money for that amount of weight reduction. I bought them from RPM Outlet, fronts $449 and rear I think $399. I got tired of the rusted look of the factory rotors and was after lighter rolling weight. But, the actuall weight reduction was not much compared to advertised. You would have to go with a drag race light weight rotor/caliper set up like Wilwood to get some real reduction in weight. But, this would not be for a vehicle over 2800 lbs or brakes for the street. The cost would be thousands for front and rear.

His brakes are Aerospace if I'm not mistaken.
Calipers and all, cost is around $1,600.  He's driving the fastest stock-pullied Cobra anywhere right now (and he's a big boy :LAUGH: ) so he must be doing something right.
