[s-cars] Front brake research continues...

[Evan Levine]

I may be remembering incorrectly, but I thought the StopTech kit was
previously offered at $1999. Compared to the ECS stage 2 now running 1500,
and the Stage 3 with two-piece rotors running $1850 or so, I would just go
StopTech.

But again, prices may have changed, I do not know what they are now charging
for the kit. I got lucky and ordered my setup from ECS during a sale before
prices went up and only paid $1200 for everything. If I were buying a kit
this moment in time, it would be stop tech.
