How does TAR-OX compare with Stoptech, KVR, Brembo and the like? In the U.K., there is much clamor about TAR-OX, but I don't think there any any U.S. distributors.

I dont care if they are 50 times better than Stoptech, Brembo.. etc ..... I mean come on.... if your 8 is not planning to see the race track.... why bother with a 12 pot brake system?

Agreed. I visited their webpage, and TAR-OX offers a 12-piston caliper. I have never heard of a 12-piston caliper in my life.

When you think about it, the stock brakes are pretty damn good. I believe all they need is a good set of brake pads. Ceramic, maybe?
