Well Brembo is pretty much the industry leader in braking. If you look at race cars (from NASCAR to F1 to WRC) the vast majority of them have Brembo brakes. There is a reason for that. However, Stoptech still makes great brakes and they're a good deal cheaper than the equivalent Brembos. If you look closely, you'll notice that the Stoptech ST40s are a copy of the Brembo GT Kit (F40 calipers) but with a bridge added for extra stability. You can't go wrong either way.

Thanks,

Geoff
