What keeps people from buying the brembo set? do they not last as long as the rotora? how much are the rotora? ive found them for 179 for slotted and like 220 for slotted and cross drilled...

I bought the front and rear sets of Brembo cross drilled and slotted rotors from a place called sportbrakes.com i believe, they sell on ebay too so u might get a better price there, as for the pads i went to tirerack.com and bought a pair for 95 bucks, they last long and need good ones with u get aftermarket rotors, and produces very low brake dust on my rims, but there are plenty to choice from, just read the customer feed back before buying, there are a few tl feed backs too.
I looked at the whole brembo set up with pistion calipers, but man is that thing expensive, u lookin at like 2,000 bucks, i just painted my red with G3 caliper paint and looks great lol.

i went to pepboys today and found that they have this part number, PR 787-C but the ones they had weren't satified (or maybe it was)..... the picture on tirerack.com shows this box:
but the ones they had, shows the same car and background, but instead of the side of the MB, it showed the front grille and headlights.. w/ a black background.. similar to the one above - is this the same product??? the box said something like PRO stop. ... same or no? i would buy from tirerack.com but i need one asap plus shipping adds another 11$. this one pepboys is selling is the same price 44$... so guys, same or not?
