We saved significant weight off the hubs of the HT-Spec TSX by using 2-Piece rotors from Racingbrake:

I hate cars

Bump for a great set of brakes.

When I upgraded to the Rotora 1pc 13" brakes I lost 4-7lbs per corner (Can't remember which one it was). The rotors were slightly lighter but the real savings came from the calipers.

This really reinforced the importance of reducing unsprung weight. When I took the car for it's first test spin I did not even think about the weight reduction. What I noticed over the next few days was the car felt much more responsive and stable through corners with bumps in them on the same route I drove everyday. It was a large enough difference that even though I wasn't looking for it, I noticed it. It took a few hours to figure out where the newfound handling came from. It's a lot more surefooted through bumpy corners.

Yeah it makes a difference in the handling and a big difference in the cooling!

i felt a difference just going from the a/t calipers to the wilwood they are noticeably lighter just using my hands as scales, it feels like the car reacts better to bumps and the suspension can do its thing a little better, next step is two piece rotors

You just did an OE caliper replacement?

no bbk but the dif between the wilwood and a/t caliper i found made a big difference, now i see you were only talking about the rotors oops.
