Just adding my two cents to those that didn't read through the first page. Does what I say really say matter? You're the one that brought up statement about FI or N/A which I didn't even reference to you so I don't see why you're making such an ordeal about it.

Well since the initial stopping distance, is the same, I'm with doug on this one - for a daily driver - which is what this thread is about... In fact I believe I read an article reviewing StopTech parts where the BBK with track pads performed slightly worse compared to stock brakes for initial stopping power.

For the track, for pedal feel, to prevent fade, no question - BBK.

I beg to differ

IMO, there is no need to go beyond Stoptech Stage II for the street (and even light auto-x). Rotors, pads, SS lines, fluid.

Good brakes and sticky tires are often the most important, beneficial, but neglected performance components.
