Default my top three picks for brakes

Alright, I'm curious about what you guys think...

Purely for fun, I was comparing brake kits...trying to formulate a wish list I guess. Here are my top three picks.

Cayenne brakes from ecs

993TT brakes...also from ecs

stop tech from renn-art....or whoever

how would you guys rank them?

Yea, I wanted to compare brake kits at the same price, but stg 2v2 also look really sweet for about 300 less.

And yea, 6 piston calipers would be insane, but I'm not sure I'm willing to go with 18" wheels. I only plan on upgrading to k04 so 18s would take too much away from power. And I would def get away with 4 pistons on k04 power.

you can almost get away w/ stock brakes with good pads for k04.

You could get TT carriers and A8 rotors

I have plenty of time to change my mind, but I think the best solution would be stg 2v2. cheap(er)/fits with 17s/4 pistons/small part of a porsche on my car

In the back of my mind I'm thinking...I so want those cayenne brakes. Drool!

I'm not gonna mismatch, besides time is money. If I'm gonna take the time for the install, might as well be worthwhile...and by worthwhile I mean 'Holly ****!!!'

mismatch? you mean the TT carriers and a8 rotors?

then what do you call ECS rotors and porche calipers on an a4?

an a8 rotor is just bigger, and the tt carriers let you have bigger rotors.
