Brake Comparison Needed!

Basically I am a n00b when it comes to brakes, and I want to do a little research and learn as much as I can before considering any major BBK purchase. So my questions basically are:

1) What are the major differences between the following kits?

2) Which fit under 17x7.5" Volk TE-37s (48 offset)?

3) What is the best bang for the buck?

4) Which is the best?

Kits I am interested in:

- Rotora Front & Rear BBK
- GDB STi Brembo Front & Rear BBK
- StopTech Front BBK

From what I hear the Rotora's are not worth the money.

Either do the Brembos off of the STi or Stoptech.

Apparently Stoptech does a VERY good job with BBK kits. Always improving over the stock braking performance. But it all depends on what you wand out of the system.

Are you planning on doing alot of hard driving, on the brakes alot? Or is it more of a bragging/look thing that you are going for?

I am not going to be tracking too much, perhaps the occassional lapping day in the future. I basically want the best bang for the buck, and Rotora seems to fit that scenario... I have heard both good and bad about them, just getting a general consensus...
