I like the look of the BBK. But it seems that its more aesthetics then function. I say this only because the brakes on my car are already pretty grabby. I do wish the peddle had a better feel. .

I completely agree the stock brakes are more than adequate with 4 pots up front and 2 pots in the rear. They even don't look small as the front caliper is pretty large. I never had any issues with braking performance outside of feel sometimes.

So far these clearly are for aesthetics and performance though I doubt I will ever need the performance side. In bedding them in, these things have no fade at all. I've tracked the IS F (the brakes zz0122 has) and those brakes are ASTOUNDINGLY good.
