Default BBK comparison

I am sure some know that I got the Brembo BBK for 4GS. Actually I also had the F-sport BBK (made by Stoptech)from my previous 3GS that I took them off when I sold my car. Today I took some pics of these calipers side by side. They are very similar in the dimensions but Brembo is lighter because it is monoblock.

Nice. Always like the Brembo. I have a set on my other car.

So any plans to sell the F-Sport brakes? Let me know!

Nice comparison. I'm pretty sure StopTech made the F-Sport calipers for them too.

StopTech does make the brakes for the F Sport, I wish I had pics taken before install to show u guys the differnece, but the new design is bigger than the F Sport that u are showing , it looks like more to the Brembo set.
