you are very wrong on that
our car is lighter than some 3er e90 and my is same as the stepwgn 1550kg which is the lightest on the market right now for a mid size saloon.
check out Audi and MB 2004 cars.

Just give you guys some review/update of the Redstuff 
Performance:
Slightly better brake performance than OEM
Huge improvement over the Greenstuff
Noise:
Still squeak like hell, slightly quieter than day one thought
Squeak only happens in low speed when nearly stop, my Greenstuff used to squeak in the first 1000kms...so lets see
Dust:
Defintely more dust than Greenstuff, i didnt wash my car since the last meet 2 weeks ago (As pinguhk requested)
I will try to take picture tonight

But William have vibrate during 80~100km while this red-stuff with I-rotor new setup. Any idea ?
I had the brake vibration when the drilled rotor n greenstuff fitted aswell (Only in hard braking tho), it lasts about few thousand kms and its gone now.
I thought the discs were warpped but luckily its all fine now!
Perhaps due to the new discs and pads fitted and hope this problem will be gone soon as the time pass
