So theres a WHOLE LOAD of heavy metal where in a proper brake set-up there would be lovely light (anodised mmmmmmm :wub: ) alloy. end of.
5. Sparks from the brakes doesn't prove anything. If you're putting your foot hardon the brakes and the pedal is going to the floor, your brakes have faded. Not when sparks come from them.
2, The brembo calipers are lighter, Ive had them side by side in my hands in the last week. The discs are similar weights. Ill see if i can weigh a set at some point soon.
5, Sparks prove the heat there. Sparks are nearly fire.
