First off, nismo, don't you run rotora, these are much higher quality than anything made in taiwan (k sport,xyz, rotora) btw, greddy brakes are made by rotora. They used to be alcons but switched years back. I use to have them but didn't like them.
As for comparing to ap. These will offer similar performance to the ap kit. The ap r32 kits use a cheaper cp5200 caliper. The stoptech uses a 4 piston caliper that is much stiffer than the ap.
Project mu and endless are good but way over priced. I was trying to get performance friction to build me the ultimate kit (375 and 355 rotors) and it all came in cheaper than those options and would have been way better. You can run v8 supercar alcons for less.
I've explored all the options. Custom brake kits, high end stuff, r35 kit. I used to have greddy/rotora and then the brembo kit c-unit was selling. Stoptechs have awesome performance and replacement parts are cheaper. Pad selection is awesome. You can find any pad you want! Good luck finding pads for rotora or project mu.
You can even go with the trophy kits like I'm going with if you really want the most performance.
Turner motorsports have been using these on all there bmws for years with many championships.
The xs engineering r32 (850 whp) time attacker ran the standard stoptech kit with pfc pf01 pads and they loved them. No fade at all.
I will get pricing hopefully tomorrow.Last edited by Super_Dude; 01-20-2012, 05:26 AM.

Wasn't trying to start an issue here, just an opinion.
Rotora is cheap yes, they're US made, not Taiwan. Cost me a $4500 cause I got a good deal. We're not talking about Rotora though, I just got a good price on brakes that look nice so I bought them, not because they're good, though they're as good as OEM).
I would bet one of my houses that Stoptech is better than Rotora so you'll be better than me with them. I'm just cheap. Same reason 90% of my parts are ebay/taiwan knockers and is why I could only 300whp at 1 bar with -5s. I'm a poser with my cheap parts but I'm learning my lesson now that I'm rebuilding again after a few weeks of driving. Anyway, cheaper is fine when it's a show/street car. I don't compete at tracks, just show off looks and drive fast when going for wings with the other car guys who don't own super track cars. Heck my Rota's weigh less than RPF1s/TE37... haha
Rotora Replacement pads and rotors are $1000 and easy to source.
Again, I didn't knock Stoptech, just said they're expensive but not as good as the MORE expensive ones which could be tiny differences if any.Last edited by NismoS-tune; 01-20-2012, 01:17 AM.Black 1991 GTR. Serious garage stand mantle/parts car.
