yes if they told you that you save 44lbs then you were mis informed by them is all.. I help you out so you can see why.. if these thin rear rotors for drag only save 17lbs in the rear there is no way a full size girodisc 2pc rotor is lighter unless its made of some magic materials which its not..

For someone with such a formula for HP to weight you missed this by a long shot.. simple addition..

Post #4 read it completely! Because the wilwood isn't cut as thin as the girodisc is cut down. The girodisc ultralite is only good for maybe 20 passes or so.

What r reading? Girodisc said thier lite rotors are 26 lbs lighter than stock. Then they said the ultralights are 18lbs lighter than the lites. That's 44lbs rotational wieght savings.

Stock rotors ________ F - 21.3# ___ R - 14.6# x 2 of each = 71.8lbs STOCK
Normal Girodisc _____ F - 17.4# ____R - 11.1# x 2 of each = 57lbs Normal Giro
Ultralite Girodisc _____F - 12.9# ____R - 8.9# x 2 of each = 43.6lbs ULTRALIGHT
71.8 - 43.6 =28.2lbs
The normal save 14.8 the ultra save 13.4 more than normal which is what??? DING DING DING 28.2lbs
You cannot add 16lbs saving from another set of rotors to the same car.. you can only run 4 rotors grasshopper..

Best way to see is a test! So far you are trying to prove me wrong and the math for the rotors to hp was right and proven by emery. Girodisc said thier were 44lbs lighter. You said thier not. Do you have a set of girodisc ultralights? Did you test them? Did you compare them to the Ams drag kit? Or are you speculating? I showed facts with proof you shown nothing but arguments! My info came from the manufacturer girodisc themselves. So you are saying emery test was wrong and girodisc is lieing and curt brown doesn't have those rotors? I saw his car on his website and it looks like them!

Your lost bro.. Nevermind.. would you like to place a 500.00 wager Giro doesnt have a 44lbs rotor combo they sell or not?? END OF STORY.. put your money where your calculator and math skills are not..
Stick to 1 subject do you want to place a bet that Giro doesnt make a 44lb lighter rotor combo than stock??

I went from a nearly new set of stock EVO8 rotors to the standard Giro Disc front and rear rotors. The standard front Giro's are 17.4 pounds and the standard rears are 11.1 pounds. Stock rotors are 21.35 and 14.6 pounds.
The new full sized race rotor weigh in at 13 pounds for the front and 9 pounds for the rear. Total rotor weight, 44 pounds. This is 27.90 pounds LIGHTER than the stock EVO8-9 rotors!
