Just bought a new couch from rooms to go. Customer Service was a POS at first, kept getting the run around and what not. Told me nothing about anything other then the couch was in stock, not in stock, was in stock, not in stock. Told them I was pretty damn pissed off.
Then things turned around, after getting home my sales rep called me and said he spoked to the manager and pulled some strings, said I was going to get the matching ottoman that comes with it for free + the fabric protection that I didn't want for free with 3 year warranty. That made my day...

if i ever get a set of dedicated track wheels, i'll probably pick up a set of 18" inch rotas i can beat on. 
endless brakes need an endless wallet to buy them.
maybe i'll just get the alliance 8/6 setup in blue.

Wilwoods are the only sets you can find good info on how well they work... in general most of wilwoods products are top notch.
When looking for a BBK the number of pots isn't the strongest or best braking.....in the end the brake master cylinder isnt changed out so consider that.....
I think the real cut of is somewhere at about 4 pot front, anymore is just getting rediculous, especially 8, and for a track car 8 pots usually become too bulky and limiting on wheel selection.
Things I would look for in a BBK - as a BBK is for the track not to look purdy.
1. Size - ability to fit 17x9 and multiple wheel sets for track use - I owned 18 wheels before at one time. i have 10 now....
2. In stock pads....HPDE events will tear them up, and replacement becomes an issue.
3. cost of replacement pads - see #2
4. Serviceability - some are not simple drop in pad style (like the Wilwoods) to replace pads, having to remove the caliper for every pad change is crap! drop in style pad replacement would be a consideration.
5. Rebuild kit availability
6. Rear Iron hat over aluminum hat (stoptech, etc) due to wanting stronger rotors and strong ebrake with project Mu shoes for drifting.
etc...etc....
BBK should be function over form............

I can haz?
Jake, if I were you, I wouldn't drive your Z for a few days after driving Nexx's car. I drove mine right after I drove his and I cried for 3 days.
Remember how you were going on about how much torque I made with nitrous? Well, Jason's Z is like mine but with twice the power. It's pretty ridiculous how fast that thing is. The feel is just awesome.+2 to Stephen's +1 to my +1.

depends on application and pads. for street driving the stock non brembos stop as well as bbk. but in a race environment when the brakes are under constant stress you'll get less fading with bbk with the proper pads. race pads for a daily driving scenario not warmed up with bbk can be worse then street pads and non bbk.
