It has nothing to do with any of those listed aftermarket companies being bad quality because I think they are all fantastic quality but at the end of the day the brembos are OEM+ parts, they may not have the peak performance prowess that an AP racing kit has but I really think the extra performance an AP racing kit has for our car would only be necessary for 0.1% of owners :P I almost feel as though it is like comparing KW v3 or RCE coils to Penske coils in performance, I mean the RCE coils are fantastic coils for a weekend warrior that wants better suspension compliance, but only a few of us truly need Penske coils!
btw I have nothing but respect for all of you guys in this thread, I just think that sometimes we naturally look for a clear cut answer in an industry where every decision is situation specific!

I'd actually reverse your suspension analagy for Brembo vs AP.... Brembo is the premium product. If CSG had the budget for a Brembo setup, we absolutely would be running Brembos.
The issue I have with Brembo swaps is that people are using a part that is completely inappropriately specced for this car.
