it is the cheapest, but it is not a direct bolt on. There are little tweaks needed. Nothing major or time consuming, but not as clean and nice a "packaged kit".

The ESC kit is bigger, but Stasis is...well...Stasis. If they costs were closer, I would have done the Stasis kit. But at the time, it was +$500 more.

conversion give any any real benefit? or more show?

With the Stasis motorsport bbk, the brake bias is shifted forward, so I need to bring it back. I used the larger rotor in the rear to do this. Most other BBK's (in 332mm) more the bias back, so more rear bias isn't necessarily good.

I can say for certain, that my pad wear is more even. Before I would go thru 3 sets of fronts before one set of rears. Now it is about 3 fronts to 2 sets of rears. So the rears are working more. I can notice it on the track way more than on the street. But the rear is nicely planted and feels way more in control on heavy braking.

The Stasis and ECS are both much larger than the S8's, so you might need to use pads to balance it out. This is also true about the S8's, but the impact is less.

All of this is my opinion, no real testing done.
