Alright, decent sized update.
This past week I was away on work in Chicago for a Management conference so I was unable to post about my Ti parts coming in for my calipers.
Well, they finally came in from Russia. Shipping took forever, as expected, and the actual making of the parts took much longer than I was initially lead to believe. But they are here and thats all that matters. Now to decide if I should get matching hardware for the rear calipers since I've started on those now....

With the parts in I finally had enough in that I could assemble the calipers. There were a few minor issues with the Ti parts, part there issue, part mine, and I was unable to use a few components due to incorrect thread pitch ( trying to speak to someone in russia who's 2mr or 3rd language isn English has its difficulties). But they were easily overcome by using my existing hardware. With the Ti parts, and new aluminum mount brackets I was able to shave 1.8 lbs from the as factory condition of these calipers, which translates to a 4.2 lbs saving over the box factory calipers. This weight doesn't include the rotors.
