I wonder if those weight numbers are per pair or each? It doesn't specify. If it's each, that's a very nice savings in weight.

What's the website you order them from

it says they are 14.4 lbs vs 22.5 for rears so it would be the weight for one as there is no way 2 stock rotor together would weigh 22.5 lbs

It's listed on their site. Substantial difference. I have girodisc on my cls63, but I bought the full RB set for my cl65. Great kit, and like 6k less than dealer

The front discs weigh 7 lbs less per rotor than stock. The rears weigh 8 lbs less than stock. My review:

We just received an inquiry from an E550 (2012) customer expressing the concern of hardware interfering with calipers like this one.



RacingBrake two piece rotors are of patented center mount design, not only it runs cooler (admits cool air both from inboard and outboard), but the hardware, after rotor is assembled is set below the rotor surface, so you will NEVER have the same issue like Girodisc (or any other two piece rotors like OE or other aftermarket two piece rotors with conventional surface mount design.)



A superior brake by design.

Yes they are light by about 8 or so pounds each corner. Installed rotors and pads with a friend yesterday. The job is a breeze takes about a hour 1/2. I went with their magic pads for dust reduction.
