Default ECS Stage 3 or 4 BBK kits - Yay or Nay?

Anyone have anything good or bad to say about them?

I sure hope not. I'm in line for the stage 4 BBK right now. I did ask more or less the same thing in an earlier thread - the general consensus was that the ECS stuff is pretty good (they are made by Brembo) although stopTech and alcon (? was that the name) were floated around as worthy alternatives.

One guy who had them said his only complaint with the ECS IV kit was the pads that came with the kit were not that great. He recommended that I go ahead and order some better pads, which I did.

Actually the HPS compound hawks are included in the kit so I just swapped for the slightly more expensive LTS. It was a 12 dollar difference. I **** away more than that everyday on gatorade and smokes.

I know, right. I basically pay 5 bucks a pack to inhale air with a little bit of smoke mixed in. I'll be quitting soon though. Seriously.
