#1: Stop Techs larger rotor in diameter also larger calipers which is good.
#2: AP Racing is about the same size as stock rotors but smaller calipers (visual wise)than stock however it has lot's more stopping power over stock sport brakes.

I've had two StopTech big brake kits and I will not purchase another one. Just my $.02. I realize I am likely in the minority on this one, but based on my experiences, I simply want nothing to do with their products anymore. Check out my recent blog post for more on that...

I know a lot of guys who have had StopTech BBK's for years and never had the issue that I had. I do find it funny that it happened to me twice with two different kits that were installed by two different shops. I don't know...

Like I said, the stopping power was awesome! It really was nice, but after dropping multiple thousands of dollars on kits that end up looking like that after only a few days, I don't think StopTech will ever see my money again. I'd rather drop what I spent on both of those StopTech kits combined on one Project Mu kit...
