(Someone could compare the weights to those measured above, to find out how accurate this list is)

Brake disc front: 10,6kg
Brake disc rear: 9,5kg
Front caliper w. pad: 7,2kg
Rear caliper w. pad: 5,6kg

Then it has "total brake" (32,9kg) and "total wheel" (45,1kg) where I am not sure exactly what he threw together to come up with that figure.

'Complete wheel' = rim + tire

'complete front wheel' = 26,0lbs + 24,0lbs (PS2 245/35/19)* = 11,8kg + 10,9kg = 22,7kg (List -> 21,8kg)

'complete rear wheel' = 26,8lbs + 25,0lbs (PS2 265/35/19)* = 12,2kg + 11,3kg = 23,5kg (List -> 23,3kg)

The list can be considered accurate, there's only ~1kg difference in the 'complete front wheel' weight!


One side (left or right):

'Total wheel' = 'complete front wheel' (21,8kg) + 'complete rear wheel' (23,3kg) = 45,1kg

'Total unsprung mass' = 'Total brake' (32,9kg) + 'Total wheel' (45,1kg) = 78kg


Both sides (left and right):

'Total unsprung mass' = 2 x 'Total brake' (32,9kg) + 2 x 'Total wheel' (45,1kg) = 65,8kg + 90,2kg = 156kg



*PS2 Tires weight
