Also, thanks for the Stoptech/AP comparison. Do you know what they liked better about the APs? Light weight is certainly appealing to me.

I believe it was pedal feel and ease of getting just the right pressure... All the way to locking hem up. Pads may also be different, I have AX6. That could be a lot of the difference.
I agree on the OEM swap sounding a tad crazy but I may be doing it this year... my wife informed me she doesn't trust her car for the holiday trips. (10+ year old Prius... It should be fine but has had some starting issues I think were 12v battery related, as a tender seems to have fixed them...) It's just work though, and gives you an easy season to send the AP off for a refresh when it's time for that. Form the number of track days you do, it doesn't strike me as substantial extra work being what you might already be doing. The appeal of not bothering is also clear...
