Pros:
Awsome pedal feel, stops you FAST
Cons:
squeaky when the brakes are cold
Besides the brakes being squeaky when they're cold I can think of no complaints. Pedal feel is awsome, and the car stops like it should. These will only fit under 17" or larger rims. The installation was super easy. I have yet to test these on the track, but I will edit when I do. I bought these as a kit with stoptech rear rotors, pads and lines, that's why my price was a bit more.

Pros:
Excellent consruction, uses cheaper rotors and pads than big nme brakes
Cons:
Must have 17" or larger rims that have enough room to clear the calipers
Excellent brake upgrade, good for long days of hard braking with little fade.
Excellent feel and maintains average stopping distance even while hot.
It is best to check around for wheels that will fit as just having 17 inch rims is not enough.
There is a template on their website that can be used to check your rims before you install the brakes.
Available in red and black.

Pros:
Easy to install, great feel, looks nice, great customer service, race tested & mother approved.
Cons:
17
The install was a piece of cake. Fit perfect under my SDR's. No excessive brake noise so far. Great stopping power. They work well with the stock rear set up. Haven't used them on the track yet but from the reviews, with a good track pad, no fade what-so-ever.
StopTech doesn't recommend using the Axxis Ultimate pads for track. I had them with my StopTech Stage 1 kit and the worked ok for the track but they got really squeeky after and it sucked for normal street driving.
The BBK comes with the Ultimate pads so I recommend changing to a track pad if you intend on tracking you car.

Pros:
Very good Quality. Fit and customer support.
Cons:
Price has gone up.
Improved braking, far better cooling. Lightwheight and moves the weight out to improve turn feel. Quiet and I never had noise problems that others have mentioned.
One of the best products I have purchased and best customer service.

Pros:
Incredible braking, fits perfectly
Cons:
Makes you go faster!
I love this BBK. Incredible braking performance and a perfect fit. Installation was simple. If you can change your own pads and bleed the brakes, you can install thi skit.

Pros:
Confident Pedal feel, HUGE stopping power, and fade-free performance
Cons:
They are a bit squeaky when cold, and they dust ALOT w/AXXIS pads
I got the Front BBK, rear rotors, pads, lines, and Motul RBF600 all together, thats why I paid so much. The install was smooth and straight forward, however removing the stock hardlines were a PITA. Fitment was phenomenol, and bolted right up! If you have ever faded your stock brakes, this kit is a MUST HAVE! Plus the look awesome! These stoppers are exceptional performers, and take \"brake fade\" out of your vocabulary! Not to mention Stoptech Tech support and Customer Service were nothing short of spectacular! I would recommend these to everyone!

Pros:
Amazing stopping power on the street and track

Lots of dust with Axxis pads
An amazing brake upgrade for the WRX. I had the system on my wrx for a few trackdays and was amazed at the performance of the system. I would reccomend this for any wrx owner
