The kit includes rotors, pads, Motul 5.1 fluid and Goodridge stainless steel lines, and necessary hardware.

I took the time to weigh the new brake system components:

Front carrier - 1.4lbs
Rear carrier - 0.6lbs

Front Alcon rotors 14.5" - 14.5lbs
B6 S4 OEM 12.25" -  26lbs

Rear Alcon rotors 13.0" -13.3lbs
OEM 10.0" - 9.4lbs

Front Alcon 6 piston calipers: 7.8lbs
