Actually, the Stoptech Stage 2 kits they are referring is not the 4piston BigBrake Kit. The Stage 2 consists of 4 OEM size slotted rotors (front/rear), Axxis pads (front/rear), Stainless Steel lines and Motul RBF 600 brake fluid. I believe www.mpjperformance.com sells this kit for a bit over $500. Hope this helps.

are any of you that are running this setup tracking your car?
im wondering about how well this setup will disapate heat under heavy usage.
im on the fence between going with the bbk or the stg2,
i just dont want to go over board and get something that
is not necessary. i plan to go to the track maybe two or
three times this year and dont want to regret not shellling out the money needed for the
proper equiptment.

I just ordered my Stage 2 set and i'm looking for to installing them. For all those interested scoobytuner.com sells the Stage 2 kit for $505 SHIPPED!!! By far the cheapest I have seen it. Plus it is shipped straight from Stoptech.

Is it possible to run the Stoptech stage 2 with Subaru 4 pots in the front? The pads in the front would have to be different though.
