All a bbk really does is dissipate heat better allowing repeated hard use before the brakes stop working i.e. track work only.

To top it off get better brake fluid. Castrol's is best imo due to it's one year change intervals and excellent boiling points though it ain't cheap. Motul would work well too, though it need to be flushed every 4 months or so for optimum performance.

I say for 1500 plus whatever it costs to get the calipers painted is a far more affordable solution than 7k worth of bbk. Plus you are getting 95% of the look of a bbk anyways and for the street, stock performance is more than enough so this 'upgrade' will be great. Will look just like the M5's and M6's now.

This is tempting. I've almost talked myself into it. Must resist...
After reading their review on line, I was leaning stop tech. Just have to get someone at AR to tell me what their turn around time is. This needs to happen soon. Rotors are getting painted next week. Would like to get everything done at once!
