Actually, they don't

No, since the stock calipers are still used, like in this S2000 kit:

it appears as though Stoptech is the only company that makes a
rear caliper for our car at all.

the rest of the back stuff is just upgraded rotors and whatnot using
the stock caliper still.

and I have to say....

a stoptech caliper is nicer than a stock caliper.
if I don't like the logo, I can have the caliper powdercoated or whatever
probably.

so I may end up with Endless or Project Mu up front, and with Stoptech
in the back. maybe.

I would think it makes more sense to do full Stoptech. The front and rear Stoptech calipers are designed to work together and maintain proper brake balance. Could the same be said of Endless/Pmu up front with Stoptech in back?

Just my two cents.

I would have to agree with the comment above.

Mix and matching isnt the same as using the same company for both parts. I would imagine that the Endless in the front and the Stoptech in the back wouldnt work. But they may not create a proper balance. So if you want BBK all around, I think it may be better to stick with the same company all around. Thats my

J's Racing is made by Endless. Everything same 6pots mini with 324mm rotor. Diff is J's kit comes with rear upsize rotor and pad only. Rear doesnt come with caliper.

HK forum loves endless and alcon. another choice is ap racing.

Yeh Alcon is more like an asian thing. I saw that all over in HK, Taiwan, and Singapore car forum. Good reputation.

How do you know J's Racing is made by Endless? Is this a known fact?
