Need to replace front rotors on 1972 plymouth satellite and thought about trying to knock some weight off. Can't find any race kits for disc spindles any one know of a kit?

There is this wilwood kit:

DonĀ“t know if you are searching for some more Drag-oriented stuff.

Dr Diff makes a bearing sleeve that allows use of the later 73-up rotor (1.375" inner bearing ID vs 1.25") so you can expand your options. I like the 11.75" rotor/wilwood dynalite kit originally designed by AR Engineering and now sold by Dr Diff.

Was initially looking for something like this
Brake

Will see what the Dr Diff adapter opens up for options.
Might be better off to just replace what I have and look to do a rack conversion next winter

That set-up says its only good for cars weighing under 2800lbs.......... And that's for 4-wheel disc
Only 2400lbs if you have drums in the back

I do have disk in back and car would be little over weight but was hoping there something similar with little more weight rating
