Sounds about right. I was surprised how light the complete kit I bought from Tracdogg was when the box arrived.

Did you also take into account the weight difference between rear rotors and rotors with the drums for the e-brake? Anyone want to guess the weight differece there and this is rotating mass too.

Glad I got rid of mine.

Got that set up from Revolution Brake
