I have done research on:

Stoptech
Brembo
Ap Racing (stillen)
Alcon (stasis engineering)
Wilwood
Project Mu

googling "Stoptech vs." , resulted in many votes for Stoptech as the most voted favorite for the club racer who requires cheap parts and easy replacement of brake pads. Even their street performance brake pad is considered superior because of the high heat performance ( i think it was 1300deg), compared to 750deg or less for most common street performance brake pads. However they do have a "RACE BRAKE PAD" now which costs about $290. Their street performance brake pads is very cheap $$$ for the incredible performance given.

Now reading on the Essex Ap racing, I'll have to agree that this appears to be a superior product. Rotors, and racing brake pads are cheaper in comparison to the Stoptechs. I personally would give the Sprint Ap Racing a try.

if not, a stock set up with Stoptech street performance brake pads, brake lines, Centric High carbon rotors, and Motul RBF 600 will do good as well.

Here is the $1600 for the 328mm stoptech setup.

but, if you're trackin, and replacing rotors/pads often, the AP racing kit will pay for itself over time.
