MS Motorsports kicks ass!!!
to shed some llight on the situation...

brembo: uses in the GT spec systems a extremely large two piece drilled rotor w/ a billet alum hat center piece. this aids in rotating mass of the entire assembly. they also use a very high friction material pad to help braking performance. the caliper is a cast type multi piece 4,6,and 8 piston setup (depending on the app) w/ high manufacturing tolerances... built with specs from the race line up. also not sure if you get SS brake lines w/ this set up

rotora: uses a one piece drilled and slotted large diameter rotor...its coated on areas prone to corrosion to enhance its looks. the caliper is a 2 piece cast 4 piston unit w/ street performance pads...can be upgraded w/ their ceramic race version. which can be a good/bad thing...also includes SS brake lines

stoptech: uses a forged aluminum 4,6, and 8 piston set up for the caliper. includes very large rotors...can be either drilled or slotted and are a two piece construction w/ a billet aluminum hat center piece. includes high performance pads...either axxis, pagid, or bhp pads...you choose the options. also includes SS brake lines...
