Default Question on F Sport BBKS?

Im planning on keeping the car for a while and planning to get the f sport bbk. The rotors on f sport alone cost 900 for pair fronts when u need to replace them. I was wondering if u can just use stoptech rotors instead of buying new f sport rotors? for front will that work with the f sport calipers? Also will stoptech rotors work with f sport calipers in the rear?

I'm guessing here but I think that Stoptech rotors will be as expensive if not more expensive than the OEM F-Sport rotors. Stoptech brakes are notoriously expensive, but overall effective.

its if u can get the exact same ones as the f-sport. all the specs would have to be the same otherwise they wouldnt fit.

ive had my f-sport bbk for about 6 months and no visible wear yet... but it might still be too early to see any.

the f-sport bbk is all performance and it look pretty too but unless ur out on the track with it, its going to last you a long time. especially the rotors

im actually not sure...i went with f-sport cuz it is guaranteed to fit perfectly on the ISx50's and is still under factory warrantee.

but i also got mine during the f-sport sale so they were only $3500 for the entire kit if i remember correctly.

If you're not on a track with it then it's all show, not performance, since it'll stop exactly as well as the stock brakes did. (I agree they look pretty though)
