I've read through dozens of brake threads and have accumulated a ton of information, but I still can't decide which route makes the most sense for me. Feedback from others experienced in this regard would be appreciated!

About my car:
- Stage 2 FBO non-PP car. No tracking, but I do tend to brake aggressively when safe to do so and I would like the aesthetic move to a big/bigger brake kit. I experienced brake fade once before with the stock set up, but not since I replaced the fluid. Part of that is because I know I let off early so I don't run in to issues. The current rotors are grooved and scorched to hell and I can feel them pulsating when braking at high speeds. I plan to keep the rear non-pp brakes as they are and simply upgrade pads to match the front.
- Consumables must be able to be purchased through FCP. I'm in their neck of the woods often and can avoid having to ship back heavy brake parts so their warranty program is a huge win for me.
- I would like to stay in the $1000-$1300 range for everything.
- TTS Calipers: 340mm MK7 PP rotors (Zimmerman blanks), Hawk Ceramic Z compound pads, RBF 600.
- Macan Calipers: Upgraded seals, MK6 345mm Golf R rotors (Zimmerman blanks), EBC Redstuff, RBF 600.
- Stoptech ST-41: I'm not sure if any of these consumables are available from FCP?
- I'm not considering GTI PP brakes. They are heavy and expensive and not much of an upgrade from what I have now.
