Thus it's still about 25% larger. The caliper will probably be close to equal weight or negligible dues to the fact that the performance calipers are made of a different material.
FWIW, larger Brembo GT kits are typically lighter than the smaller OEM brake components they replace. Again, it's all speculation until we see the real figures.
