Default Weight reduction with different brakes.

I've seen certain break kits, willwood for one, advertising they reduce the weight of the car by 30lb's when installed. Thats a good amount, especially for a weight reducing mod that has other benifets!!! One question...., what about the rear brakes??? Anyway to reduce there weight as well?? Also, if you read this, are there any recent weight reduction techniques that i've missed??? Thnx

Already saw that, amazing huh. Well, i want to keep my car looking like an s2000.... Right now i'm thinking about a replacment exhaust, maybe the Ti from veilside, should be even lighter than my HKS and give me a few extra ponies. Others include a DC header(none of the headers give any real gains so why spend 3-4times as much...????), lightweight batter, brakes, a good diet plan, tubular lightweight sway bars, lexan windshield, and maybe even some "alteration of the front/rear bumpers..... Heh, i could take out the Xbox........, most pointless thing i ever did!
