Stopping power will indeed be virtually the same and heat dissipation a bit better with bigger discs. But even the "small" 355 or 365 BBKs will outperfrom any stock setup by a large margin.

Even though the kit is 355/355 the piston sizes are different so the standard brake bias is preserved. I spoke with Stop Tech at length about this prior to purchasing. I went with front/rear kit simply to have a good all around solution to combat fade on these relatively heavy track cars. In terms of stopping "power" there is little difference. In terms of brake feel - the ST kit reminds me of my 996 4S which may be mostly due to the stainless lines and fluid...

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

I am currently debating on the same items, and after my discussion with Dave Zeckhausen, the following additional advantages of the front ST-40 vs. ST-60 would include:
- ST-40 is lighter (almost 3 pounds for calipers + rotor per corner) - and you can rotate your pads front to rear if you also install the rear BBK I am almost set on the ST-40 in the front as I think that the ST-60 is an overkill (given my current driving skills... for sure! One has to be humble....)
