Default 14 in Rotoras or Stoptech big brake kit?

Ok, i was going to go with the regular stage 2 kit but have decided that im crazy and want a big brake kit. I know they're both good but just wanted some opinions on the two. The rotoras are about 80 bucks cheaper.

Rotoras are 6 piston front and 4 piston rear
Stoptech 4 piston front 4 piston rear

You can ways get the 6 piston StopTech kit if you really want a 6 piston.

Having 6 pistons doesn't stop the car any better. You have more heat capacity since the pads are larger.

StopTech has been in business for 7 years. Last year in April we were acquired by another company. Since the acquisition, the new company has bought us a new 72,000 sq ft building and invested huge amounts of money to make StopTech the #1 name in brakes. We can't wait to move into the new place.

If you are looking for a red slotted 14" front kit which it sounds like you are, we have multiple kits boxed up and ready for immediate shipment.
