Civic rotor (worn) : 9.4lbs
Civic caliper (no pads) : 7.3lbs
Insight rotor (new) : 7.6lbs
Insight caliper (no pads) : 4.6lbs
Total unsprung weight reduction in the front of the car: 9lbs
Adding up the wheels and front brakes, I'm at 18.2lbs removed. At some point I'll throw in an Insight ally spare and likely shave another 15lbs, and I'll measure the rear drums when they come in.
More importantly though, I believe the Insight brakes are marginally lower friction.
