i run stoptech st40 all around w/pfc 06 brake pads and castrol srf brake fluid.

fantastic. the 06 have less initial bite compared to the 01, but they last a lot longer and are less harsh on rotors.

Can someone please explain what's the difference between the grandly named Alcon 'CSL Cup' bbk and the regular Alcon bbk. They appear to be exactly the same.

Another issue with the Alcons is the rear bells are made of steel, so they weigh a lot more than standard at the back.

In a word. Nothing.

The factory Alcon kit in the silver looks better in my opinion. The Alcon logo is etched and painted rather than a CSL Cup sticker.

Other than this, the kits are the same and both include Motul fluid and the stainless braided lines which have been nicely thought through and specific to each wheel / side of the car.

As mentioned earlier, the best pads are the RS29's — which installed and bedded correctly DON'T squeal!

best
