Not trying to stir things up, but your post is a bit deceiving. You compared a generic "Centric REAR" rotor to an OEM FRONT rotor. If you really want to compare the two, you should use the same...

I'm pretty sure you would still have an M96 or M97 engine. While the later M97 engines were better, they are still prone to IMS failure. You would have to get a 2009+ 9A1 engine.

Not sure this is accurate. I recently shipped my supercharger, and it came in at 65lbs (with padding, box, etc...). So, I'd guess it'd be closer to 50lbs.
