Since no one else has I guess I'll have to go into it.

-Stiffest calipers around
-User friendly design- don't need to remove caliper to replace pads
-23 different pad options for the front alone
-Directional two piece rotors that flow more air
-Light two piece rotors
-Application specific piston sizing for perfect f/r brake balance
-Track or street ready. Just choose the appropriate pads, do a bed-in and you are good to go.

I got more but that's the basics.

btw, how is StopTech's compared to Rotora, given that Rotora is cheaper (of which I can get for ~ $4000/set compared to Stoptech $4500+/set)?

One simple word.. quality. Stoptech designed rotors are from the same foundry in Italy that Brembo used. This was before Brembo decided to vertically intergrate and create their own foundry. We have been involved with many race teams such as

and about 1/3 of the SPEED World challenge field equalling Brembo's presence. There is also the sheer amount of satisfied customers that have our kits and have great experiences with our customer support.
