hopefully my final chapter in my brake search - help me pick between these two options
and help me with reasons why you prefer what you do:
1) Stasis tracksport 13" setup with monoblock 4 piston calipers with
or 2) Stasis motorsport 14" setup monoblock 6 piston calipers
the 14" kit will cost me more and will require me to run 18's year-round, but will give more performance, and FWIW, will look better too.
also, note - either of these options will be paired with a Stasis 11.7" rear kit.

Could always get both!
Get the 6 pots and run the 14 in the summer under your 18's, and switch to 13's under your 17's in the winter. I run the 13" rotor year round now and it's perfectly fine for street use, but if I can ever get to a track, I'll slap on the 14" rotor.
If you don't plan on tracking the car, I'd say the 13" rotor with either the 4 or 6 pot will be fine, and you'd still be able to run 17's in the winter.

What's their (stasis/alcon) rear brake option? Alcon caliper and rotor? Or...
S4 rear caliper w/braket and stasis rotor which is what Dan Farmer has.
Go with the 6-pot setup and see if you can work a group-buy for a complete 4-wheel set up. I might be onboard for that.

the Dan Farmer Special their 11.7 rear rotor, hat, bracket, etc. with the S4 caliper
I don't know about the group buy, I'll be doing this through my local shop which is a Stasis reseller.

Don't Skimp when it comes to Braking !! Go for the biggest and ......
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/51182/12_25_04_195.1.jpg"></center><p>Best you can afford. I don't Track it at all but I went for Biggest I could afford for my A6 which was the ECS Tuning Stage4 Kit with the Massive 6 pot Cayenne calipers and large Floating Rotors. For $1900.00 I think thats a good deal. The other day in the AR I had to drop my anchor from about 100mph and there was a scary amount of brake fade. I plan to add the Stage4 Kit to the AR as soon as I can afford it. 18" Rims are a must and very close. 19's are would be Ideal......

For street or street/track? If just for street, the 13" will be fine. But if you'll do any track
go for the 14". I had the Stoptech 332 (13") and they were fantastic on the street (Steve_AG Arrow has 'em now). But, I could easily cook them on the track. Just not enough surface area for cooling. Could boil the fluid in a run session.
