Skip both and get top of the line brakes....a 4 piston kit
with 13" rotors is only $2795.00
Monobloc caliper= stiffer brakes, better pedal feel.<ul><li><a href="http://www.avalonmotorsports.com/b5s4_brakes.htm">http://www.avalonmotorsports.com/b5s4_brakes.htm</a</li></ul>

Stage 3 = 993 calipers. Stoptech is not necessarily better balanced. (m)
<center><img src="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/images/product/brakes/ECS-Stage4/Caliper-Piston-Sizingv2-790.gif"></center><p>The Stage 4 brakes are very closely balanced with the stock setup. Also, be on the lookout for more pad options. I don't think the fact that the Stage 4 has limited pad selection has gone unnoticed by any means. I would certainly be on the lookout for sometime in the spring/summer for more options. Not to mention that the Stage 4 kit is MUCH less than the Stoptech setup.
