I have the AP Racing kit (used via MTAERO) on my 88 900 spg
with the weight, I would say the 330mm 4 pot AP brakes weigh about half of what my stock SPG rotor/caliper. I unfortunantly have not felt the OEM saab calipers but I would guess you would save several lbs per corner.
The problem, most require 18 or at least a 17 with a specific offset
I think the biggest problem with using brake kits like this on the street is usually the pads are more for track use thus they really do not perform well with street use.
