Brembo vs. Stoptech

I need your help... I can get a set of new Brembo BBK fronts for $100 more than the price I can get on Stoptech BBK fronts...

Honestly I don't really care which brand I get... I am Italian, Brembo is Italian... that might make the difference... but which kit is actually better?

Beyond the price issue, does anyone have any experience with one or both of the kits? I can't seem to find anyone with Brembos on their WRX...

Thanks,
FZ

If the BBK from brembo is the Lotus Kit then I would go for the stoptech. If it is the F50 Kit spend the extra $100.

I would have to say go with the StopTechs. The kit is at a great price and they also provide really good service. They can answer almost every brake question you can probably ever imagine. These guys know their stuff.

Yes, I autox. And the rotors are 13". Its their standard WRX kit.

Red calipers are $200 extra from what I am told.

The Car and Driver Article

Does anyone have a copy of the WRX BBK Test that was in Car and Driver a couple months back?

Stoptech won... but I want to read the review on all the brands...

Are the Brembo piston sizes calibrated specifically for the Subaru WRX brake system?

The Stoptech's are!
