You could consider an RB rotor kit upgrade (semi-BBK). As well as StopTech, other expensive BBK alternatives are Alcon and AP Racing.
Also, talk to Pete@Advan about the Nashin BBK that Advan sells. Some more discussion here.
Don't forget to upgrade to stainless steel brake lines and perform a fluid flush (full bleed) using brake fluid with a high boiling point, e.g. Motul RBF600/660 or Castrol SRF. |
I've heard that the RB quality is questionable and that there are some issues with their product. I'm not sure if they've addressed these issues yet but I wouldn't recommend it.
I went with Stoptech BBK and couldn't be more happy. They get a lot of attention too.
OE is probably the best option and you almost always get what you pay for. ECS look quite good but if you track your car hard I wouldn't recommend them, or any cross-drilled rotor for that matter. I've had some hairline cracks in my first set of Performance rotors from track abuse.
