Default stoptech or brembos?

i was thinking of upgrading my brakes but not sure if i should wait for brembo to come out w/ a IS350 kit. those of you who have stoptech, how are they? are they as good as the brembos?

any advice would be appreciated.

thanks!

Get Stop Tech. My G35 came with brembo and I upgraded to Stop Tech. They were amazing. No brake fade. I had the SS lines and Motul RBF 600 brake fluid.

I've always been a big fan of Brembos.

Ive got the StopTech 4 Wheel BBK on my IS350. Apparently I was the first IS350 owner to have the Stoptech BBK installed. There have been some issues with fitment and rubbing and stuff, a rep from StopTech is comming to the shop i use on monday to look at the problem. I would hold off on getting the StopTech BBK right now until they iron out the problems in mine so they can make the permanent changes on the rest they make.

They actually are. Endless makes alot of BBK for other companies and put there name on it. I would honestly prefer Endless brakes over both Stoptech and Brembos. I wish I could say that lol

Im thinking of getting the full Rotora kit for the IS250. Anyone have the Rotora kit? Pros or Cons compared to Stoptech?

For the IS or all cars in general? My friend has a 4 piston set on his Eclipse Turbo and that car can stop on a dime. He has had no problems with them at all...maybe ill just go with Endless

What is your motivation for upgrading the brakes? Do you track the car heavily, or are you wanting them for cosmetic reasons?

Really not motivation just the fact that they look better and perform better. I dont track the car which is why i would only get 4 piston calipers for the front. Brake upgrades, at least to me, are something that you can do and always get something better out of it.
