Default Eradispeed plus weight

Does anyone know the actual weight of an Eradispeed plus front rotor for a C5. I know they advertise that they are 3-4# lighter than oe but has anyone actually weighed one?

The above link shows after market cross drilled rotors (or maybe the GM performance rotors) not the factory rotors. When I installed my Baer Eradaspeed Plus - Baer fronts were 1# lighter and the Baer rears were the same (which is not bad since they are 2 in larger). I did the install two years ago and only had 25,000 miles on the orginal rotors (which looked like new). Now it has been couple of years since I did the install but I know that one set was the same # and the other was only 1# lighter but I could have which one confused - so please forgive me.

The brakes in the link were Sportbrakes.

Can you copy and post where Baer say they are lighter? I installed mine a year ago and remember them being heavier. They are much thicker so as not to warp and crack easy. If you are looking to drop weight this is not the place.
