Anyone used this on a 14 GT Stop Tech Front Big Brake Kit, 14" Rotors

Hello I was wondering if anyone has used the stop tech big brake kit with 14" rotors and if so how much better then stock is it?
A noticeable stopping difference?

I had the st40's on my previous car with 2-piece rotors. They were very good. Great pedal feel, excellent stopping power, very good heat dissipation. No complaints at all.

I can't speak to how they work on a mustang or how they would directly compare against the brembos. Stopping power should be similar and I would guess pedal feel would be a little firmer. Cooling with the one piece rotors would be nearly identical to the brembo setup

I have the 6P 15" version, and the Steeds 13" upgrade for the rears. Although I didn't test my stopping distance with the Brembo's, it sure feels like it's stopping quicker. The pedal feel is much better, and of course they look killer.

I doubt they will stop any shorter - they'lll just max out the capabilities of the tires faster and in a track environment dissipate heat more efficiently, allowing more aggressive braking without any fade.

Stock brakes with a grippy set of pads will stop in the same distance (once at least) as a 6 piston, 2 piece rotor setup, assuming the same tires...

That said, I still love stoptech brakes and would recommend them to anyone who tracks a car

I just ordered and installed a set o Hurst 2 piece modular rotors. They were supposedly designed for several road course teams under their hurst performance research division.They only have a few sets available to the public. I'll tell you they are sick looking and huge. They were not cheap by any means but as they are getting worn in I'm very impressed thus far. might be an option for ya!..just a thought
