Im looking to get some lighter wheels, like the ssr comps, and some lighter brake rotors, or the whole brake assembly, does anyone know a good company that sells brake components that are lighter than stock? I've heard that the stock rotors are very heavy and replacing them along with wheels would make a big difference in rotational weight. Any coments suggestions ?

 

The Drilled/Slotted rotors I got off ebay were lighter.

 

how much lighter, cause if its not at least a few lbs a rotor its not worth it .

 

I would say maybe a pound a piece...

 

I think I remember reading somewhere on the forum that there was a company that made slotted and drilled 2 piece rotors that where like 3-4lbs a rotor lighter than stock anyone know what company that was?

 

I would like to know my self also gr8rx, I just got my White 8 6-spd in the middle of May, and the brakes are already squeaking for some reason, I got to take them in, I also followed all the breakin rules from the maual like I always do for my cars. I just don't get it, never really hit the brakes dramaticly hard. maybe brake dust is getting in there, I do notice that the front wheels are getting really dirty compared to the rears, and i mean fast.

Thanks for allowing me into the 8 community

You need the brake TSB. It will take care of the squeak (not sure how long it lasts) and it will definitely take care of the brake dust.
