I am getting these brakes fitted this Friday. Some rough and ready technical specifications:

Caliper weight with 2 pads inserted = 5.7 kg per side.

34 mm disc with radial curved cooling vanes per side = 9.95 kgs

The thickness of the Shockworks Frixa pad is 9mm as per here:

The thickness of a 4 piston Brembo pad is 10 mm as per this Ferodo DS2500 which is a great track/street pad

And here is a shot of the 6 piston caliper with 4 piston brembo pad sitting inside the caliper to show differences of pads

I will measure the weight of the OEM discs and calipers, but will not be totally accurate as the oem discs are worn, as are the Brembo 4 piston pads.

More interesting to come- is how the brakes operate-and perform - normal and spirited driving
