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...

Do you know what sized pistons are used for each kit? That's a crucial bit of info to make comparisons.
