Default Brake Question

Ok time to get some brakes that will fit with out changing all this stuff. Im looking at the
-ECS Stage 3 Porsche 993TT Caliper with 322mm 2 piece rotors for $1995
-Brembo GT 332mm for $2857 and the 328mm for $2494
-And StopTech 355x32mm for $2595
Im trying to find out what one is worth the money, the ECS one is cheeper but should i spend the extra and get teh stoptech or go all out for the brembo. I know if I look around I can find them cheeper but this is what I found now. Also is slotter or cross drilled rotors better or both? I plan on using them to stop from high speeds and use them for tracking. Also any other brake brands or ideas are welcome

The porsche ecs brakes are brembo's. I have the stg 2v2 and its fine. Personally id get the stg 3 brakes, gotta ask your self how much are you going to track the car.

I dunno the differences but porsche brakes are manufactured by brembo. ECS also has all replacement parts for their kits readily available.

The ECS kits use the porsche/brembo calipers but use their own rotors. I'd go with Brembo if you're going to be tracking the car

If your tracking alot, go with just the slotted, drilled are pretty pointless other than the fact they may look cool. If I'm not mistaken the drilling actually weakens the rotor.
