What is the weight savings of the vented rotors vs. stock components? I would be installing these on a street/strip car and would need rotors that can stand the constant stopping of this type of driving.
Sorry, but I hadn't gotten around to actually weighing all of the components. But somewhere I read/heard that is was a little less. Yes, for a dual purpose car, it would be a good idea for the bigger, vented rotors.

Np, just thought I would ask 
I wanted to do light weight brakes over this winter, not sure I am ready to pull the trigger though yet...Strange I find too risky for street driving, Aerospace I read about this "pump up" problem or characteristic if you will, and wilwood I hear are quite heavy...More digging is in order for me..
Sorry if I put this thread somewhat off track...

A big thing with the Aerospace is having the correct pedal ratio.
Mine did retract the pistons a small amount that's the way they are made to reduce drag.
Once I corrected the pedal ratio I had 0 problems setting the line lock and the car would stop just fine with no pedal pump, but the pedal did feel a little nicer if you just gave it a quick pump.
What did you do to change/correct the pedal ratio. My pedals and rod are the stock 68 Barracuda 4-Speed stuff.
It was originally equipped with the manual discs.
