What sets one brake setup apart from another?

I was able to get the the ZP10's for the front. They still don't have the blanks for the rears. Apparently their blank supplier is having stamping issues on the rears.

When the manufacturer says they may be noisy they are not kidding. The noise level may be a bit more than you would want to live with. Plus you will have spent $350 to forewarn pedestrians 2 blocks away of your approach.

If they're really that loud, then I'd pass. But depending on who you talk to though, some say it really isn't that loud...?

But back to the original question. I thought this was a good read StopTech : Balanced Brake Upgrades
