Default 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?

Default 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.

Default 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?

"NEW - Brembo Grand Turismo Brake Kit
Available in Silver and Red. Brembo 4 pot calipers, Brembo fast road pads, 328 x 28 Brembo drilled discs, Uprated brake lines to suit 5 x 100 Hubs."
