no i actually like the wheels.. i jus hate seeing the performance sacrificed for the sake of big wheels..
as far as opinion... i was a passenger in a friends car (more wheel than sense) & oem brakes.. long story short i have a steel rod in my rt femur bcuz the car couldnt stop in time..
SO BRAKES SAVE LIVES!!!!! IMHO or at least legs in this situation

Don't know if upgraded brakes would helped or did he just not brake in time, but again, sorry to hear that happened.[/QUOTE]
it was a bit of both.. improper driving habits, lack of braking ability..oversized wheels,cheap tires..i believe all things happen for a reason..(no hard feelings)

sorry to hear your experience seems like your friend stopped short, not sure if bbk will help unless it was brake fade. big brakes most of the time don't shorten braking distance. but they reduce the chances of brake fade after long trips or repeated braking (which cause the rotors to overheat).

Putting on slotted rotors isn't really an upgrade. A BBK is an upgrade. Slotted rotors help with heat but have less surface area over a solid rotor. The LS460 has big OEM brakes but with 24's I would want the added safety of the added rotational weight. Just my opinion though..
I have to say that my Brembo BBK does stop the LS460 shorter than the OEM setup. Sucks your eyeballs out of their sockets
