Yes, of the exhaust reported FI is the lightest aftermarket, though I am sure some others are a bit lighter which have not been reported.

stock sport FRONT rotors supposedly weigh 30lbs a peice on the 370z, according to racing brakes
Two-piece rotor (Open Slot) - 370Z (Sport) FRONT 2009

Which is more than my 19" rims.

Damn, 30 lbs. Definitely have to look into getting a two-piece rotor.

I assume the drilled weighs less than 19 lbs slotted rotors?

Figured it would be. Was assuming a little under a pound less per rotor.

KW V3 coilovers are too cool to be weighed, chuck Norris will drop kick your bathroom scale.

i had 2nd, 4th and the reverse gears removed.... reduced weight by about 8-10 lbs. I regret removing the reverse a bit, but im getting used to putting it in neutral, opening the door and pushing with my foot, so its not so bad
