Hi Brownie,
I'm not sure what you mean by "lighter weight axle and spindle assembly." The 9000 calipers bolt right on to the existing c900 spindles (88+).
I weighed 900 and 9000 calipers and found weight specs on a number of pads and rotors. The 9000 calipers are about two pounds heavier (weight includes pads). If you use the heaviest 9000 rotor with 9000 caliper and compare it to an average weight 900 rotor and caliper, the weight difference is about 5.25 pounds per front corner.
In my experience driving both stock and 9000-calipered 900s back-to-back (often on the same day) for over 20,000 miles, in all sorts of conditions (including driving hard enough to nearly set pads on fire), I see no compelling reason to run Aeros and/or 9000 brakes on a c900.
