    What is so different about this brake kit over the one in the link below? I don't see why the "CMC" kit is $450 more.

    Yeah as a class we got to the point where we realized it was dumb to pay MORE for non-slotted rotors once we started wearing down the rotors on the Stoptechs, and now allow slotted rotors to help keep costs down.

    That "CMC" kit is outdated since you don't need blank rotors any more.

    Also didn't realize the rotor rings are the same for both cars. I keep two spares in the trailer thanks to the deal Matt gave me.

    Need to order a spare hat/screws in case I break one at the track one day.

    While I agree Stoptech brakes don't go with the whole idea of CMC but neither does a new set of tires every weekend. I can say I just changed the rings on the 55 after five years (one was changed but the pin holes wallowed out not from a cracked ring) and I think they would go another one or two years. Pads are also less expensive and thicker than stock type pads. Hard to swallow but in the end you will save money on front brakes. Now what to do about the tires.......
