Static weight is a bit of a guess.
Mine weighed in at 520kg front (LS1, Jag control arms, steel coil over shocks, standard Commodore steel radiator)

Rear came in at 600kg with half tank fuel, AU rear IRS with standard, very heavy control arms, Single steel roll bar that weighed about 20kg on its own.
My car is a Classic Revival so not sure if the RMC chassis is heavier or if the jag stuff is heavier.

Regarding brake cylinders, I am guessing that since you have mentioned a balance bar, that you are running 2 cylinders (1 for front, 1 for rear)?

I will check my cylinders in the morning and let you know what I am running, I have standard jag front and AU Falcon (single piston) rear, I have my bar setup centred and the car pulls up square with no brake lock up in front or rear yet, but test for engineering from the looks on the testers face were impressive, I should try to get the figures from him.
