Rusty,
Right -o, were saving more weight already!
I will attempt to build more weight information on the different rotors as they become available to me!
We should soon get a good picture of exactly what weights were looking at for balance purposes.

I just can't see how you get 10 lb 9 oz rotor weight comparing these weights, even though the RX7 rotors are a tad heavier!
 
 
Hi George,
 
It was just an estimate of weight, and not meant for anything critical.  I got that number by weighing a rotor I had in the garage, along with a baggie of seals.  It was an older 10 lb rotor, complete with preserving oil, and plastic wrap.  Seals were dirty as well.  
 
Cheers,
Rusty
