Aerospace brakes installed info inside 😎

So i finally decided to get around to ordering the front and rear street brake setup from GPI which is the aerospace kit . Brakes came in well packaged and in 2 days from GPI from Ronnie Esmon also got a great deal from him on both sets great company to deal with . My complaints about aerospace is the installation instructions are straight up shit you also have to retap each brake line on the caliper which is sad also you can only shim one way to center the caliper on the rotor . My Mechanic had to use washers to center them right . Also the rear isn’t a true bolt on kit like they claim but whatever . Now on to the good part about the kit weight savings 😎.

Front stock brakes 39.5 lbs a side

Aerospace street brakes are 16.2 lbs a side

Savings up front 46.6lbs

Rear stock brakes 30.64 a side

Aerospace street brakes 15.19 lbs a side

Savings 30.38 lbs

For a total savings of 76.98 lbs which is the same as what I saved on doing a dragpack . Do I think the kit is worth it wheel for me yes but not for the money for the average joe for what they cost instructions should be a lot better and you should not have to retap threads at all .
