Thanks for the link HH56. I saw no weight specs for the kit. LOOKS like it would be at 25% lighter.
HOWEVER, look at the bracket that anchors the caliper. THEN go look at a PRODUCTION (Chev,F or C circa 1970 thru 1990's BIG cars) anchor for the caliper. Then think about it.

Let me put it another way:

GM, F and C did NOT design the caliper stay to span the FULL WIDTH OF THE CALIPER because 2 bolts thru one corner of the caliper and into a flat piece of steel OFF TO THE SIDE would be enuf.

That flat mounting bracket is probably good enuf for speeds up to 60 mph.
