Thanks, that's not much more.

Pads are a little bit of a different story. It's a mixed bag, but for track pads, if you wanted PFC01 pads you'll pay $120 more per axle for the ST60 over the ST40 calipers. The real 'cost' of this will be a matter of how quickly you consume pads.

Thanks, makes sense that the ST-60 pads would last longer. So it may be a wash.

Thanks, I am leaning towards the 380's, unless I find a good arguement to go with 355's.

Thanks, I did. Hope this is only an isolated case. A bummer regardless.

Mine have seen 15k street miles and ~25 track events and look great.

Thanks, costmetic is not as important, but still something to consider.

I like the Brembo but dont want to have to remove calipers just to change pads.

Thanks, this is what I understand also. Prefer the StopTech for faster pad changes.
