Titanium Brakes

Because from the information I've collected so far, titanium brakes may be some of the best performance upgrades for the weekend track/autocross or daily driver but not for serious tracking. I'm just saying that it makes a lot more sense to me to work with braking and suspension than blowing thousands of dollars on b.s. NA mods only adding another 30-40 horse power for the price u pay for the brakes.
At that price, they are almost as expensive as a full StopTech brake package (front AND rear) and you risk not having support from these guys in the future. New disks? What pads to mount?
A full suspension would cost less and improve cornering, acceleration and braking a lot more…
My 2 cents…

I had a bad experience with titanium, heat and thermal expansion..Semicondutor area..
Basically the titanium warped easier than the other metals.
I would almost bet those brakes would only last a week or so if even that.
