Rotor information

Cheers Chris, can you confirm what platform? I will add them to the list

Sorry, Should be C6 chassis. I used the C6A6 rotor for the Cayenne calipers I am installing on my C4S6. More information here.

I'll be replacing my AP discs in the new year so I'll try to remember to weigh the lot before I refit.

That'd be great Greg. AP have the rotor data online, be great to get a measure of the calipers

As far as I remember my Cayenne 18Z calipers is 6.5 kg

As far as I remember my Cayenne 18Z calipers is 6.5 kg

Empty without pads, pin and springs?

I remember my Audi Ceramic 6 pot weighting near to 9kg with everything inside them
..

[Julian Iversen]

Yes, just the caliper with pistons

I found this: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...=1#post7500346

[Julian Iversen]

Thats the dry empty weight. 6.5 was with pistons, brakeline and maybe a bit of fluid

Has this thread died? Needs a bump.

Those 17Z/18Z weights seem low, even unloaded...

Here are some actual weights from parts I've measured...

17Z loaded caliper: 13.8 lbs. (6.27 kg)
18Z loaded caliper: 14.4 lbs. (6.54 kg)
996/Boxster S loaded caliper: 7.8 lbs. (3.54 kg)
345x30 D2 S8 rotor: 26.0 lbs. (11.81 kg)
323x30 D2 A8 rotor: 23.2 lbs. (10.55 kg)
