Movit Ceramic brakes

I'm looking for a BBK and i was wondering if I should go with movit ceramic over Brembo, ap racing or stoptech. Do any of you guys have any experience with them?

Movit is the OEM manufacturer for all the Brabus BBK including their V12 twin turbo "Rocket", so they are a great alternative to Brembo or AP Racing.

You can't go wrong with any of the above! Ceramic brakes are pretty expensive and unless you're building a lightweight race car, are just overkill.

Movit are great brakes and come in these sizes:

Front 370mm steel with 6 piston caliper is ~ $4749
Front 342mm steel with 6 piston caliper is ~ $4050

Rear 342mm steel kit with 4 piston caliper is $$3449

The Ceramic kits are a bit more

It starts at 11.5k for the front and 10.5k for the rear

The other thing to consider is replacement costs, can you easily get all the parts, and diff pad availability.

They say that Cer rotors will last for a very long time and if you were to change your car to something different, they would be able to make your existing kit work with the new car. You just need to send it back ...

I hope those rotors are thicker than stock since couple kits are smaller than stock diameters.
