Brembo you are paying a lot for the name. The monoblock design might be a little costlier to implement but not necessarily better. Brake pad changes are so easy on the Stoptech kit in addition to the caliper being stiffer from the bridge design. They are both great, race proven kits. The ACS brake kit is the Stoptech kit. The RD Sport kit also looks exactly like the Stoptech kit so I believe it's the same thing. Brembo is the larger company. You cannot go wrong with either BBK. I think the Stoptech is the better balanced kit and it's more customized. I don't know why the Brembo kit uses a 380mm rotor front and rear, that would lead me to believe it's more for bling. The rotor size on the Stoptech kit is staggered like OEM and the piston diameters in the calipers were carefully chosen for the M3.

There is plenty of love for Stoptech. Looking forward to KINGLEH's review.
