lbs more than the 4kq.  I think it was 40 and 50 lbs each.That was with rotor 
attached I believe, both using G-54's but the ur-q unit of course had larger 
rotors that are a couple lbs heavier.  If that.

    No, I don't know the weight.  I imagine the weight difference is not 
huge, but the forged steel bearing housing could be heavier than the steel 
one piece versions.
    Just to clear up the brake issue, all the two piece struts on the 80/90s 
use the G54 with the wider bolt spacing.  The 20V sedans and Coupes use G-60s 
basically mounted on the same strut housings with different rotors.
