Stoptech has more options for the Z than rotora. You really need to ask how important weight is. If you have a high power FI system, and weight is less of an issue, go with the Rotora 4 wheel kit with 6p front calipers on 355mm rotors and 4p rear calipers on 355mm rotors. If you are NA and weight is more of an issue, go with Stoptech. Get the 332mm front kit and the 328mm rear kit with the new ST-22 rear caliper. In terms of actual quality and performance, both will do equally as well. And for what it's worth, more than 4 pistons doesn't do much to increasing your braking capacity in any way whatsoever, unless those extra pistons are actually used for a significantly bigger brake pad. Finally, the actual braking capacity of a 14"(355mm) vs 13"(332mm) is probably completely insignificant for 99% of all driving conditions, but the 13" is significantly less weight, both static and rotational. If you are doing just a front kit, go with the 13" Stoptech or 13" Rotora, but again stoptech will allow a simple upgrade of the rear rotors to go with the full front kit.
I say if you are looking for a 4 wheel kit, get the Stoptechs for sure. They are setup to work and are proven. I have them, and I feel they were worth every penny.

As Speedracer so thoroughly explained. StopTech. I have both the front (332mm) and rear (328mm) StopTech kits and I love them. Basically the front kit alone is really all you need 90% plus of the time. The rear kit doesn't really add much except for increased resistance against brake fade.
I HAVE STOPTECH ONLY IN FRONT AND THE CAR STOP FAST AND HAVE MANY OPTION IN BRAKES PADS I RECOMEND I SALE STOPTECH ,BREMBO AND AP RACING (I RECOMEND STOPTECH)
I have Rotora and they work perfect. As mentioned before, 14" brakes will be good for the bling-bling factor and will add more weight. Depends on what you want. Good luck
