Just what the title says. Thought it'll be interesting to know.

BTW..please also state what kind of driving you do (i.e. drag, autox, daily driver,...)

i choose project mu, just because i want to try it.
had endless on my car with tons of lapping day, never fades, though the caliper aint monoblock design.
in other word, i dont know if my endless holds up good on the track is because of the huge rotor i got(more heat capacity), or a nicely balanced and designed caliper.

stoptech sure is another good choice for tracking, less expensive.

overall, if i didnt have a chance to take this endles brake kit on a very cheap price, i'll still keep my stock brembo.

so my conclusion is, with either stoptech, endless, or AP, you cant go wrong.
dont know about project mu, there suppose to be good, but never have first hand experience or heard any expereince with it.

so the bottom line is: if you don't track, just daily driving then any kit would be ok?

i just dont see the purpose of having a bbk if you just daily drive.
if you want bling factor, then its a subjective openion, which i cant comment on it.
hope it help~

Stoptech

Why: Because I already bought them and love them. I mostly daily drive, but I do intend on attending a couple track days a year and don't want to have to worry about brake fade or ruining my stock brakes.

Stoptech

Because I have them now!
They are already overkill for me since I don't track my car. My Track Brembo brakes were already too good for me but I just couldn't pass the good deal. (Got Stoptech used.)

Oh, and the customer service in Stoptech is second to none.

Now only if I can get rid of those horrible brake dusts....

Good stuff! Keep it coming everyone ! I tried to make sure I put every major BBK on the list so it'll be interesting to get some stats on what people prefer & why. This will be pretty good info for those looking for BBK's.

I plan on Stoptech. Why? Because they go for the market with the best company attitude I've seen. They ARE being used by SCCA teams competitively, and have supported this forum for a long time. Plus I've seen them up close on a hot M3 with BBS wheels, and there's definitely bling factor to spare.

My dad is getting Brembo for the M3 he is going to buy... And I have Brembo on my Track model. I know it is overpriced and mostly name, but seriously they have experience and no one can honestly say, Brembo sucks. It's like buying designer clothing!

with no limit in budget I would go endless. Very nicely designed. Cost conscious I would probably go with stoptech or just upgrade my factory brembo setup with better rotors, lines, and pads.

I totally understand that some may base their decisions on different aspects such as price, performance, looks, brand name, etc. It's just a poll to see what each individual would choose & why they would choose it. Perhaps I should've set this up a little differently but I think it'll still be interesting what each member will choose regardless of what their reasoning is.

Money aside, I'd say Endless. Being rational, I'd go Wilwood as well....They're nice brakes at a good price.
