Doc,

I work for a shop in West Los Angeles called Progressive Image. We specialize in Import Performance and also do some performance work for BMW's. We are a Brembo distributer as well as Comptech, Stillen and Stoptech.

I stated my opinion about the Lotus kit as being awesome because of my experience with this kit. I had the front and rear 12.9" Brembo kit w/ hand brake on my 99 NSX. I had the kit for 8 month before I upgraded to the "Indy Style Calipers". I ran those for 6 month before my car was stolen.

Besides having a good amount of experience with different brake systems on my own cars (wilwood on my civic, AP on my dads corvette, Stoptech that came on an M3 I recently bought)I get great feed back from my customers. I favor Brembo for alot of different reasons. Ease of installation, vairiety of pad choices, the special Mclaren Anti-rattle hardware and just overall quality of the complete kits. I now have Brembo Brakes on my Civic and we just took the Stoptechs off of the M3 to put on the New Brembo 14" front and 13.6" rear kit.

I know there are alot of people out there who draw their opinions from a single experience but I like to sample everything. Before we became a Brembo distributer I sold alot of Wilwood to my Import customers. When I bought my first Brembo kit I got to see how much better it really was. Then I sold a couple Stoptech kits because I had customers that requested them. Stoptech is another ?OK? company but after running Stoptech and Brembo side by side you get to see that the Stoptech doesn't even compare. I think Stoptech would be a great kit if it was less expensive. The Stoptech components are made in Taiwan and I didn't even notice some of there problems till I took them off of the M3.

Sorry for the long response. I just wanted to make it clear that it is not a one sided opinion.

Thanks for reading Guys!!! Take Care
