I wonder if you can use the front brake on the rear and just get the Stoptec 6 pot for the front? I like Brembo but they are too expensive comparing to Stoptec

wow the car looks fantastic. How do the brakes perform? Are they better than the brembo? Just asking coz I have no experience with StopTech.

Brembo is known for their high performance.. Just wanted to know if they got beat

It would not be fair to compare OEM vs upgrade, the STOPTECH's are 6 vs OEM's 4 in front, and 4 vs 2 in the rear... also the mass of the disks is a lot more on the STOPTECHs, specially on the rear, pad area is also huge compared to the OEM, the upgrade also comes with braided lines, so YES the difference is huge.

Very nice. How heavy are the rotors as compared to OEM? I would hope they weigh the same at least even with the mass increase. What kind of brake fluid are u using? And did you install this all yourself?

Weight and mass are the same thing... do you mean diameter?

And 355 mm is very very close to the stock front diameter of ~ 350 mm. The rears are 1 in bigger in diameter than the stock 13" rotors. We have pretty massive rotors stock... for a Lancer

But like the OP said they're lighter now, being 2 piece and all.

Mass as in size. I guess volume was a better word? I am pretty sure mass fits it right. Mass = size. Weight = How heavy. Bigger size but same weight is what I was aiming to say.
