Larger diameter disk mean more area to grip, greater heat disipation, and more toque on the wheel to stop it.

(... and they look purtty)

So are Wilwoods (Nascar) , Stoptechs(SCCA, Speed channel, PCA, VCA, etc.) and AP racing brakes. (LeMans) Most BBK are race proven, its all in the name and marketing, because they have established a reputation for quality products and have been around for a lil while. But today, their brakes are in no way better than Stoptechs or AP and personally I'd take those other 2 brands over Brembo. Today, it seems like Brembo BBK are almost more for bling than for racing even though they are still a fabulous product. But they seem like more of a status symbol sayin, hey i can afford brembos instead of hey my car is set up for the track.
