However I would do lots of research on the company and the performance of their products before purchasing, as it could turn out to be a big waste of money. |

If feel ya. I just called vivid racing and they said that the 2000 dallor price tag is an typo, and they are more like 3400-3600
Sounded way to cheap for 8 piston bbk I think all I would need is 6 pot at the very most if even that!

I had stoptech's on the rsx and I loved them, they worked very good with the turbo setup I had. I could track for long runs with little to no fade, forgot what pad I had but it never got out of hand when it came to brake dust! Maybe I should just take a look at stoptech and forget the rotora. Not worried about the bling I just need to upgrade the base brakes cause supercharger is coming soon and I want the car ready to hit the track when I get it! If I had sport brakes I would not worry about it but base brakes seem to fade quickly!

The Stoptech 15" rotor requires a 19" front wheel as well, where as the AP racing setup uses a 14.25" rotor letting you squeeze on an 18" wheel. I went with AP partly because of allowing 18" wheels, partly from their history and reputation, and partly because I knew Stillen would offer great support. Buying at 20% off helped sweeten the deal.

Thanks that sounds like a good idea. That way I can get my 19" for show and 18" for track days. Is ap as good as stoptech?

I'm not going to knock on Stoptech as I think they make good products but AP Racing has the racing heritage and I've never heard anyone say anything but good things about AP and their products. Historically they've been one of the top suppliers to F1, motorcycle racing, touring car, rally, and more recently NASCAR. They were the first to supply a brake system that could survive the 24 hours of Le Mans without a pad change.
