This question has been answered many times over. The short answer is yes, the Brembo brake package does make a difference. Not in overall stopping distances, but repeated hard use of the brakes will find the Brembos superior in almost every way. The Brembo monoblock calipers and larger rotors resist heat much better and are worth every penny at the track!

To clarify dkmura's response - a BBK shows it worth on the track, not in everyday driving.

As for your vibration problem, unless something was not tightened properly and it's loose, those suspension changes wouldn't normally cause a vibration. I'd suspect something with the wheels/tires. Perhaps you have hubcentric wheels and a ring was removed/lost and now the wheel is not mounting properly.

Less heat build-up.
Less brake fade.

How important is this to you? $2,000? $3,000? I don't know.
