I replaced the 9" Pinto discs on my CR with the Wilwood 11" 4 piston Dynolites. I think I dropped about 20lbs per wheel, number is a little fuzzy but it was significant. I also changed the pedal ratio which made a huge difference. There are pictures in my gallery of the mods to the brake pedal. Stopping improved greatly. Later I replaced the rear drums with 11" Wilwoods, new master and proportioning valve. I didn't notice a big change in stopping ability but I am glad for the upgrade.
