Cost effective is definitely what i'm going for…

Only reason i'm considering Stoptech is because i have a friend that can hook me up. My buddy has a used PMU kit that i could try to get off of him too, maybe for around the same price. Both cheaper than i've seen even used Essex kits go for, so that's why i'm not really considering anything else at this point. Plus, i think the stop tech Trophy kit is a pretty nice setup.

The Trophy kit is excellent. Can't really go wrong. Tons of pad options, cheap replacement rings. Great lightweight caliper.

The Greddy kit you already have is very similar to the normal Stoptech kit though it seems if not a little bit nicer. You should definiltey weigh it after you take it off the car. With the normal Stoptech kit you probably aren't gaining much over the Greddy, but the Trophy kit is most likely lighter. If you end up getting the Stoptech make sure to measure the rotors compared to the Greddy to see if Stoptech rotors will work with the Greddy calipers. Could help out whoever ends up buying them from you down the line.

Wow sad to see the Greddy go, curious to see what you decide to replace it with. That Endless kit would be sick.

I like this shot showing the different sized pistons. Stoptech does their research and pairs up the best sized pistons depending on the application. One of the many factors that set Stoptech apart from other brake manufacturers.
