Stoptech or brembo???
 
I am looking at front Big Brake kits and saw that the brembos cost quite a lot more than the stoptechs. What are the pros/cons of the different kits? Are the brembos really worth the $700 extra?

Brembo or Alcon that is it for top of the line
 
multi piston calipers. Rotors vary based on how hard you beat on them. Development time involved is huge. Quality is a big issue.

Alcon?
 
I havent heard much about them. Please, fill me in.

How much for the Brembo... I found $1100 on a site in the UK
 
Add in some shipping and it's still not bad...

Typically, I see them for $2500, so I'm curious as to why they're so different?
