Lightweight drag brakes

[NABeastRR]

Looks like the Carlyle rear rotor might be able to lose some weight if the bigger aerospace is 10 pounds. I don't see why the rear couldn't drop 6 plus pounds on the smaller rear rotor. Isn't the MC rotor just a factory vette rotor?

We have the Aerospace Fronts and Rears in stock that we helped develop with them. Our rear kits are lighter than anything else in the market that is a bolt on brake!

Here are weights of the rear drag brakes (the pro street adds about 7 lbs to this)

Factory SS Brakes
22.8 lbs – Rear Rotor
7.4 lbs – Rear Caliper
30.2 lbs – Each Corner
60.4 – Total Braking Assembly


Factory V6 Brakes
17.0 lbs – Rear Rotor
9.2 lbs Rear Caliper
26.2 lbs – Each Corner
52.4 lbs – Total Braking Assembly


Aerospace Lightweight 5th GEN Drag Brakes
7.72 lbs – Rear Rotor
4.0 lbs – Rear Caliper with pads
0.615 lbs – Caliper Bolts
12.335 lbs – Each Corner
24.67 lbs – Total Braking Assembly

Are you planning on running the Aerospace brakes, Ryan? Last I heard, you were running V6 brakes. I am looking for a kit that bolts right up that I don't have to grind the LCAs. The Carlyle kit has the custom LCAs to run the 15" in the rear, James said you did lots of grinding to fit the 15's with the V6 brakes

Nice! I want the Aerospace brakes but I just want everything to fit and not rub. Did the stock lower control arms have to be modified to run your rear wheels (I am assuming you run Welds)?
