So, what made you chose the Brembos?
BTW, crossdrilled or slotted?

Spoke with a brembo rep and found competitive pricing.
I am getting crossdrilled. I might go just slotted, as I have a little fear of running crossdrilled, but the rep recommended the crossdrilled for my needs.

I was interested in a BBK for my G sedan which is exclusively street driven, admittedly spirited at times. Is there any performance benefit for me with a BBK or is it strictly an aesthetic mod? Thanks for the input.

You can't go wront with either Brembo or AP racing.
There are world leaders... and then there is the rest

Brembo owns AP, but AP operates indepentally from Brembo. I was advised AP is not consistent on which rotors are supplied with their kits and have been known to use lesser quality brands. AP's are great brakes, but I feel brembo supplies a better rotor with their BBK.

Just checked their product listing and they have a new ST-60 six piston setup for front.
Hmmm, i have the ST-40 upfront, is there a way i can upgrade to the six piston front and still have use for the ST-40's I have?
