that's like saying, unless you track your car you wont get anymore performance out of a TT or SC. just because your not taking your car to the limit constantly doesn't make it any less capable. if you were referring to OEM vs OEM Brembo/Akebono then i'd agree with you, but a legit 6/4 BBK will weigh equal to or less than OEM, w/a much larger friction surface. additionally the braking feel from multiple pistons gives much better feed back. obviously tires play a HUGE role as well but speaking from a strictly "braking" component perspective, BBKs make all the difference. also panic stop distances aren't the only measure of "braking performance."

 

ive driven other cars with big brake kits just curious whats big in this car scene... makes a huge difference all over but yes the track is usually where you will notice the lack of fading the most. Thanks

 

I'm also a fan of Brembo, but from what I can see Akebonos still aren't a terrible choice for a BBK. I don't expect BBKs to be slim or small, to have as much of a pad selection, or be the most light weight.
