3.8ish lbs lighter..including buying pro gears,its about $750 for the gears,lightening and polishing.after they are done with it,there isn't a sharp edge on it and it looks like a mirror.

this all seems way off topic for a guy trying to figure out how to get better 4 lug brakes at a decent price.... i dont disagree that adding lightness is a great idea, but the costs can get high when talking about rotating mass in particular.

As mentioned, don't do race brakes for something on the street, staying four lug is killing your options, if you just rebuilt them and bought good pads shoes you would be fine. $400 sounds high for stock parts even new.
