Default Need advice: Stoptech 332's, Brembo 322's or Porsche 322 with 996 TT monblock calipers ??

I've read alot of previous posts on the brake issue but was wondering this. What is the advantage to going with 14 inch brembos, 14 inch stoptechs or the 13 inch (322mm)under the Porsche 996 tt Monoblock calipers ?? Is the advantage in stopping distance after repeated hard stops ( fade ) or the longevity/reliabilty, serviceability, parts replacement cost or what ?? Or does it simply come down to personal choice ?? I see that the Brembo kit FROM Brembo sells 2 piece calipers not one piece designs. Is this a concern when choosing a kit ?? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Default I still say the StopTech/APR (or Stasis) kits will be best, since they have a

correctly-matched piston size for the S4... that is, the pistons are sized correctly for the S4 master cylinder.

but whatever *shrug* :-)

(BTW the APR kit is basically the same caliper as the StopTech kit)

the rear:

Don't call Stasis asking them about this brake kit, it's not ready to be sold yet. They are finishing up the testing phase, but I wanted to let everyone know what Taner is referring to with the Stasis brake kit.

Default This kit isn't for sale yet, no pricing...Stasis currently sells the Alcon stuff which is expensive.

This new kit is a Stasis design, not just selling Alcon stuff for Audis.

This is a great kit, both a front and rear upgrade.

Stasis should have some definite information in the next couple weeks once they are done testing.
