I'm in a dilemma. I desperately want a brake upgrade for my Coupe, but am torn between the StopTech (front only) kit or stock Brembos off a 6MT (front/rear). I definitely can't afford to get the front and rear StopTechs and I'm getting a killer deal on the stock Brembos (calipers/rotors)

What would you guys do? And also, for people who know, are there any additional parts needed to do put the stock Brembos on a 5AT other than the calipers/rotors?

Thanks guys.

 

Unless you will be tracking your car, get the Brembos. Mine have been just great, if they weren't available with the car, I wouldn't have bought it. The performance is great, they don't fade in aggressive street driving and the feel of the system is second to none. If you can get a great deal on them - DO IT!

From all I've heard, they are just a bolt on deal.

Agreed. If your car is just a streetcar the Brembos are more than adequate for what you will throw at it. If you track your car at all Stoptechs all the way. In fact, unless your a really good driver with lots of experience, you would only really need the front Stoptech kit for tracking anyways since the lionshare of braking is done up front. One day if my road racing skills improve to the point where I'm cooking my stock rotors and race pads on track day, then I will step up to some Stoptechs. Until then no need.
