Captain Matt, I be

and why.

Pat has Stoptechs on his car. Good enough for him, good enough for me.

replaced the rotors after 11 (but I bought the kit used), rebuilt the calipers after 14 (but only the outer dust seals needed replacing). I've had great experience with Cobalt pads, and am about to try some Hawk HT-10 pads at Mid Ohio next weekend. I get crazy long life from the Cobalts with good modulation and good cold performance. Pair it with Motul RBF600 and it's a great setup.

Ya but think he went thru a few iterations. 355's front and custom rear, now? or other

But, there is always a but:

I think that the StopTech front kit is a much better value than the 4-wheel kit. 332mm seems to be sufficient. I am happy with it at the track, I would not recommend it for street use. S4 brakes are quite nice, and I do not see the point. If all you want is bling, then the ECS Cayenne kit is hard to beat. Ahh, I also really did not like the Axxiss pads I got with the StopTechs (NEVER USE THEM AT THE TRACK!)

As to Stasis rears, follow the Tech write up link below. I absolutely love them. But I think others have comparable solutions.

IMHO I have the best value/combination on the car now for track use:

332mm Stoptech fronts
298mm Rears with stock calipers.

I used the axxis pads on the track (very small track) recently.

How are your brakes now? I ruined a set of rotors - pad material transfer.

I had major vibrations under light braking for a while. It's been ~2 weeks now and they seem okay.

" I would not recommend it for street use. " the 332 kit, why is that?
