Is there a reason why nobody here uses ECS's STG IV BBK off the Cayenne?

It's pretty reasonably priced, and it's got big, floating rotors with 4 piston monobloc calipers, & lets face it, they're good enough to haul a 5,000lb, 450HP monster down from speed. Why aren't they good enough for our baby 3700lb, 500HP monsters down?

Default It's a good well balanced kit. There are a few drawbacks (18" wheels required & pad selection)
