But when talking about weight distribution the wheels, tires, rotors etc don't move, they stay planted. So rotors in that sense would be pointless. Still doing them though for overall weight.

You may want to do a little more research on sprung verses unsprung weight. Your first focus should always be on unsprung weight. Those stock rotors are freaking boat anchors and losing that weight makes huge difference in performance. From your suspensions ability to hold tire to pavement to accelerating and braking. Bottom line those heavy rotors are still putting more weight on front tires along with sprung weight. Your tires must overcome that weight whether it be sprung or unsprung. By removing excess rotor and wheel weight you effectively remove weight tires must overcome in a turn. Weight is weight but unsprung weight is even more important. Our cars are nose heavy to start so getting lightweight rotors does help with getting weight off the front tire load.
