True.. the unsprung weight in the rear is probably a lot more power robbing than you think. They look awesome though!

I am going to weigh the stock brakes when I get home tonight to see what the difference is. The BBK weighs 75 lbs in the back and 80 lbs in the front. I would bet the stockers are half of that easy.

Yes they do, maybe you could borrow a set from Fernando Alonso...

Sorry for the smart answer... I couldn't resist... I don't have any idea if they make carbon rotors for the G/Z...

I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a lot of weight difference between the stock rotors and these though. My 15 inch rotors are 6.5 pounds less each than my OEM 13 inch Brembo rotors. The aluminum hat really saves some weight.
