If you planned to own your car for 3 years and run the numbers as I illustrate above, you'll realize that it would cost you less to buy a spare set of AP Racing CP8350 calipers vs. buying the StopTech kit once all long-term running costs are taken into account. CP8350's are $1100 a pair. During that time you could beat your first set of AP's to a tragic death, sell them used, buy another set, keep one set as spares, etc. No matter how you slice it you'd still come out ahead on cost.
