Performance differences between ECS Stage I kit and OEM Big Brake Kit?
The Stage I kit is 332mm and uses OEM carriers? I don't understand how can that be. The OEM Big Brake Kit 312mm rotors with TT carrier. Which is the "better" kit for mostly street, some autocross and light track use? Also, are 2 piece floating rotors that much better than 1 piece rotors?

I've got the OEM kit on my whip
It's very nice for the money.. It's seen track, autox and a lot of street/canyon driving and has held up very well.. A very good upgrade for the money...

The 332 kit uses an adapter in conjunction with the OEM carriers to move the calipers outward...
The 2-pc rotors use an aluminium hat so they end up being lighter than the OEM 1-pc rotors. Performance-wise, they're probably similar, if not better. I went with the 332 kit to better fill up the space in my wheels.
