they are bloody heavy!!

They certainly are. Just think that a 4 pot billet caliper saves over 1kg per side!! Then you might get an idea of how heavy the cast iron ones are...

Asked the guy and he said they were professionally reconned, complete with pads (dont need them as I have mintex ones), short brake pipes, new splash sheilds (! I dont need those either) etc. Will send the cheque today...

I hope to get a bit of cash back on them by selling the pads and splash sheilds....
