Stoptech brakes question

I'm curious as to the differences in the following.
ST40 vs ST60. Fade tolerance? Differences in feel?

What's the skinny on their ST40 racing setup, are they running different sized pistons? Details please

I'm very curious as to their ST40 at all 4 for a replacement of my current brakes.

I have the ST40 up front. My understanding is the 60 will marginally outperform the 40 in overall performance. The real reason to consider the 60 over the 40 is pad wear due to a more uniform contact. The 60 is a little heavier and you might want to check on pad choices and prices. There's a lot of pads available for the 40 and the prices are reasonable.

The ST40 is awesome with road race tires, but will easily overwhelm street tires. I know this from personal experience.
I'm not real sure what the difference in the race setup vs. street other than aggressive rotor-eating pads. Definitely call Jeff @ Stoptech for all the details.
