Stop Tech Stage 2 Upgrade
Has anyone had any experience with the Stop Tech Stage 2 brake upgrade? It sounds like a sweet deal. For $650 you get stock-size Stop Tech slotted or drilled front rotors, Hawk HPS front pads, SS lines (front and rear), and DOT 4 synthetic brake fluid. If that helps get the stock system up to Brembo level resistance to fade, then I would jump on it. Matching rear rotors are $200 extra, plus pads.
Is this too good to be true?

It would definitely not match the Brembo level of heat capacity. The rotors are just too small and don't have the mass necessary to keep temperatures at a reasonable level. If you intend to take the car to a road course, stock brakes are just not acceptable with or without the StopTech stage 2 upgrade. In fact, I believe J Ritt has posted information regarding this in another thread recently.
