They are 5lbs lighter I believe, and you are going from a single piston to dual-piston calipers.

I read some W-Body guys (I think Grand Prix guys) and not many of them were using Grand Am front brakes on the rears, as they looked bigger and balanced out the look of the F-Body calipers. Again, I think it was only one or two people and they did it just for looks, no performance gains.
