like i said they just do...i dont know why but a drum set up weighs less im not talking 100lbs but they do weigh more maby 10-15 pounds could be more but i doubt it.

it would all add up...5-8 pounds a side is not that much imobut i personaly cant stand putting on something that dose the same thing and adds any extraweight...thats like people who put power locks and power windows on a non power car...also somepeople who shave as much weight as they can will swap the reardisk brakes to drums.

thats like people who put power locks and power windows on a non power car...
so whats the problem there???? i put power windows in my red r/t and the wifes green expresso....

rear disc brakes do weigh more then drums.....whem you break it all down, the heaviest thing in a drum brake is the drum itself.....disc, the rotor weighs alot, and so does the caliper....
