The only draw back is the F50 style Brembos look better but that is the least of my concerns. |

Interesting thoughts, what the approx cost difference between ST & Brembo's roughly for a M3?

Just to clarify, how many variations of calipers with piston diameters does Brembo have?

The STs are about $1500 less.

I think Stop Techs are original equipment on the latest Viper ACR. That should say enough.

I think a soda can would provide a better comparison.

You can download the specs on the different calipers and rotors they make on their website. They have over 60 iron rotors. I didn't count the calipers, but they have many different types available. You can work out the permutations between the caliper and rotors that would actually work together. Stoptech does not have that kind of breadth, but I am not saying their products are inferior for that reason or anything. Just answering your question.

Not all rotors will work with all calipers obviously, so as I said, I don't know the number of matching permutations that are appropiate for the M3. If you simply count the number of different types of discs that are being offered for instance, Brembo seems to have more. If you share what you know, that would be informative.

For you guys that are looking into ST, a lot of the old S4 owners who tracked a lot with ST brakes had issues with the rotor hats with heavy track use. I think it was either cracking or corroding. ST was telling them that it's normal wear and tear. After that, a lot of guys switched to Alcons and Brembos. Just something to think about.

Maybe its me but that looks like it came off a car rotting in a junk yard for the past 30 years.

Ugh - RECALL. I see the issue, it is not the rust it is the broken hat portions.... Last edited by swamp2; 12-11-2008 at 02:47 AM.. |

That's what happens to the rotor surface after many high heat cycles from heavy track use. The issue is not the rotor surface but the cracking of the rotor hat. I'm not sure how often those are supposed to be replaced or if they are supposed to be replaced at all. It just seems odd that they would crumble like that.
