Lightest Weight BBK

There's not that much difference in the front application, will mostly depend on rotor size. For the rear application the significant difference will be what material the hat is made

There's not that much difference in the front application, will mostly depend on rotor size. For the rear application the significant difference will be what material the hat is made out of, iron or aluminum. The rear hats are often iron for e-brake durability.

While weight savings is a nice thing, especially unsprung weight, make sure you get one that can take the track abuse. If you're not tracking then unsprung really doesn't mean much.

What is the point of this poll? Who cares what someone's opinion on which BBK is the lightest?

Wouldn't it make more sense to just have a thread where people weigh their brake kits and post the numbers?

Agreed, its not really a matter of opinion. If opinions could shed weight off of a car, racing would be a lot cheaper.

not sure if this helps, but i ran endless bbk (6/4, 345mm/325mm*i think) and project mu bbk (6/4, 355mm/345mm) on my 350 and the project mu kit was: lighter (cuz the rotors weren't as thick), more responsive, and cheaper.

i'm running the pmu kit i had on my 350, on the 370 ...thanks to a pmu conversion kit
