prolly not the best but...
I've had them on my car for 4.5 years and have done 4 track events a year without a problem. Just stick in track pads for an event, replaced the rotors once. Nothing else.
I really like Alcon brakes but can't ever bring myself to buy Brembo. They remind me of Bose... market the hell out of their name and put sub-standard stuff on production cars that just aren't that great. BBKs are different, but their "production" stuff aint that great. Kinda ruins the name for me.

I don't see Brembo marketing the hell out of their products...I agree their OEM might not be so
great but it's the car dealers and manufacturers who market and hype those if anything.
They don't need hype because their history and accomplishments speak for themselves:

Bose, is more comparable w/ Stoptech because they only make crap that people who don't know anything about audio buy...Show me one quality (or any for that matter) studio or theater that uses Bose speakers, lol.

I think you and others that have had these failures w/ Stoptech should bring up a case to the BBB...
Even though they have been known to be pretty useless, this is a serious and legitimate case. For that matter, I think the Department Of Transportation should be notified as well because the Stoptech product is a major liability for the safety of everyone who uses them and anyone around them on the road. Bottom line is this company needs to step up their quality control or get out of the business. The guy who started stoptech was smart and probably knew exactly what he was doing when he sold the company. Shady business...
