AP has always been my favorite set of brakes. If I'm to built a full track car, AP would be my number one choice. I've beaten my current Rotora setup around the track couple times and they held up wonderfully. But I'm not a true track junky nor really push myself to the car's max limit so may be I will never experience the brake's full potential.

There are many other companies out there that makes BBKs. Let's face it, it's similar to coilovers. A big company may spend tons of money into R&D. Then the mass production is being done by CM in Taiwan or China. What's stopping them from copy / reverse engineer the blue prints and mass produce under a different name, or under the "generic brand". It's a hit and miss where you may end up with the "identical" system (same quality and such) for less price than the real company, or you may end up with less quality products made by cheaper materials.
