I've got rotors from them on the front and rear. The first pair of rotors they sent me were warped somehow. They sent me another set for free. No complaints.

Dude R u kidding me? You got hooks on R1 concept brakes? I might have to take you up on it. I'm not due for brakes just yet, but i've been thinking about changing over. I just got a set of wheels and these OEM pads are so damn dusty!.

If no one else replies, I'll get you a number tonight; I've got the C32 calipers at home. Will only be good to within a half a pound on my bathroom scale, though.

On my handy-dandy bathroom scale, it's 10.5 lbs. That should be about the weight of your caliper, I think.

Well, ignoring the caked-on brake dust and dirt, of course.
