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.

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.
