I spoke with Jae at the track about this exact issue, but decided to go with the ST-60 because it is larger and therefore can dissapate more heat. This is one of the main premise behind a BBK, besides more stopping power. Also the 15 inch rotors will look massive behind the 18 inch Arc-8's. So yes, there is also the wow factor ("Wow what big brakes you have, is it true what they say about men with big brakes? They are over-compensating for lack of skills") to consider! HaHa!!!
