Wow, I wonder why Brembo would make such a crappy brake with their name on it? No problems in my experience.
I took my 135 to the track 6 days last year and did not have any problems with the calipers/pistons using Hawk HP+ pads and slotted rotors. Worked great, no fading or piston boot or anything else breaking down.
