    G60's weigh a damn ton, boat anchors.  Thank Eric Fluhr for the first
two measurements:

G60 - Stock 276mm
29lbs 15oz per side

BIRA - Stock A8 312x25mm
27lbs 11oz per side

BIRA - Coleman Two Piece 312x25mm
17lbs 1oz per side  (My Brakes)

Now looky there.  I need to scrounge up my stock brake weights, but they are
in the order of 22lbs if I remember correctly.  So I actually save 5lbs. per
side, hopefully that makes up for the 16" alloys vs. my stock 14" steels.
As we all know by now, I think the Bira systems are the best for the buck.
Though if you really want the cream of the crop then the Mov'it BiTurbo kits
are tops in my book, but those really hurt the wallet.

Cheers!
