    can anyone tell me why

    how come someone hasn't made a light weight front hub/disk drag race combo to use in a stock fox caliper, Seems like it would be a easy weight loss.
    I know it can be done. Aluminum hub, thin hat type rotor 3/8 thick with the correct offset. make spacers from old disk brake pad backplates.
    Don't worry about what you can't change.
    Do the best you can with what you have.
    Be honest, even if it hurts.

    I would need pad spacers or a special pad. The stock calipers are not light. I guess that's why they sell the kits. The aluminum calipers are half the weight.

      I've done it on a vega back when Airhart made hats. worked great.
