I've had these number in a spreadsheet for a while.
- OEM 2NH Brakes (Grey or Red Calipers)
- Front Disk: 30.58lbs
- Rear Disk: 24.91lbs
- Carbon Ceramic Retrofit ($10,895 lowest found price)
- Front Disk: 16.16lbs
- Rear Disk: 12.61lbs
May as well consider lighter wheels while you're at it. The mass is going to be concentrated further from the center of rotation so it's worth more.
- OEM M2C 788M
- Front: 24.7lbs
- Rear: 26.24lbs
- HRE R101LW ($8,640 lowest found price)
- Front: 16.6lbs
- Rear: 17.2lbs
Brake Savings: 53.44lbs @ $204/lb
Wheel Savings: 34.28lbs @ $252/lb
$19,535 to cut
87.72lbs. However, that's rotating and unsprung mass. It's going to feel like much more than 90lbs and improve everything from ride quality to acceleration to gas mileage. You also won't ever have to worry about brake dust or (if you're street driven) brake maintenance.
