depends on whether you want stopping power or ones that look the best. if you want them to work the best, get stoptechs, if you want them to look sick get the gold brembos.

Persnally, I feel that Stoptech dished out alot of bread in order to get the favorable reviews that they recieved in the magazines.

I like Stoptech, but I feel that the Italian Brembo's...with the made in Italy rotors and calipers, are better. I don't have an opinion on the American built setups, but those are the ones used in all the tests.

Bang for buck goes to Stoptech though. Until I recieved an offer that I couldn't refuse on the Brembo golds, I was going to get Stoptech's.

Win/win either way, but I prefer the Brembos.

StopTechs change the brake bias for the better, a little more rear pressure.
It is easier to keep the car at threshold instead of locking up, which is quite a nice thing.
They last all day without fade, and the pads/rotors are cheaper than Brembo ones according to everyone.
I haven't gone price hunting on new pads since I bought bunch with mine.
