The 370Z Weight Reduction Thread

[ChipsWithDips]

Oh, here's some more weights i measured a while ago and forgot to post:

Did an upgrade from base brakes to sport package with Racing Brake 2pc rotors and pads (ET800).

Stock:
F Rotor: 9.75 kg ea
R Rotor: 5.83 kg ea
F caliper+2pads: 7.55 kg ea
R caliper+2pads: 3.22 kg ea
stock Rear rotor shield removed: .40 kg ea
Total: 53.5 kg

Upgraded:
F RacingBrake Rotor: 10.15 kg ea
R RacingBrake Rotor: 6.95 kg ea
F Sport Caliper+2pads: 5.91 kg ea
R Sport Caliper+2pads: 3.06 kg ea
Total: 52.14 kg

Total weight difference 1.36 kg less than base!

I'm amazed the overall weight still ended up less. Those base calipers are boat anchors compared to the lightweight sport ones that are so much larger.

There were some other fittings and hard lines and things that i didn't factor in, but I think they were roughly the same weight between base and sport.
