206 GTI 180 discs are just under 7 kilo's per side IIRC

247mm rears are 2.625 kilo's per side, although I'd expect that to vary slightly depending on the manufacturer (mine are 1.62kg per side for the sprint versions)

I have 6.9 kilos down for the 307 discs, but I believe there are two offsets, which will affect the weight.

Can't help with the Gti6 disc weight, haven't got it in my notes yet, but it should be similar to the 307 disc above, which is the low offset one.

From memory, the 305mm discs are about 9 kilos, but I'm not 100% on that so didn't list it.

what's the difference between the calipers/pistons of the 206 gti 180, gti-6 and 307? I think what I've just fitted to my car is gti 180 calipers on the front, though the disks are spanking new brembo jobbies that came with them.

I think the 307 and 206 caliper/carrier setup are both slightly heavier than the gti-6 calipers, but I don't know the specific weights Dunno

I weighed my Xantia V6 discs and I can't remember exactly, but they were ~ 8 kilos each.

any weight saved on the disks will have the same benefits of light wheels etc because it is unsprung rotational mass?
