I doubt they would contribute to that big of a reduction. A lot of the weight is in the giant calipers too. This is basically only taking weight out of the rotor rings. Some weight there for sure but probably less than one would think.
Feel free to check BMW ETK. This has been discussed before. CCB save about 18lbs over the blue M3/M4 brakes, which are already ~35lbs lighter than silver M2C brakes. So 50+lbs savings in total. Bigger brakes is one of the biggest contributors to the weight increase on M2C (other one is the dual pipe exhaust sustem) and it's the reason why I immediately sold my stock M2C brakes and went with much lighter aftermarket BBK.
