Stock vs Strange Drag Brakes Weights

All Stock pieces removed for installation. Included are calipers, rotors, bearing, bolts, dust cover, spindle trimmings etc.... 29lbs 8oz per side

Strange Brake setup weighed in at 14lbs 9oz per side


I wanted to know what the weight difference was before I bought this set up but could not find what our stock brakes weighed on this site. It was almost a 30lbs savings off the nose.

14lbs 9 oz includes the spindle, caliper and rotor and caliper brackets? my modified bare spindles weight 11 pounds.

if so thats some really lightweight stuff

from the looks of you post that doesnt include the spindle?

It includes the spindle trimmings in that 29lb's. Since the stock spindles remain,weighing them was a moot point.
