Default 4 pot versus 6 pot calipers
jac mac,

I have done some broad research on weights of calipers and a rough comparison between AP Racing and Wilwood calipers

AP Racing 4 pot calipers Caliper Family No. CP3789 2.2kg
Wilwood 4 pot Superlite calipers 4Ib, (billet superlite 3.75Ib)

AP Racing 6 pot Rally calipers Caliper Family No. CP6750 3kg (circuit calipers are around 2.3kg)
Wilwood Superlite 6 pot 5Ib

Having said that these may not have been the lightest AP's, as their lightweight versions maybe lighter than Wilwood, and obviously for the difference in price the AP has to have some benefits over the wilwood!
