its exactly how I got my Nismo bumper lol

 

meh im very particular. I want something that doesn't stand out as much. Im hard core OCD (ask steven about my last wheel situation, even he knows). And i have very particular taste so my options in bumpers feel rather limiting already. Ill give the Kuruma Z some thought..

 

No one has the greddy, strafespeed, or chargespeed.

 

Do I hear BBK in the future?

I don't care what anyone says...when I installed a F&R BBK, the car stopped WAY BETTER than the OEM setup.

 

I've got to agree with Canadian. Physics are physics. There is no stopping a car faster than the grip of the tires allows. Unless you were unable to engage ABS with your OEM brakes, a BBK does not stop you any faster. Brake feel on the other hand, will generally vastly improve with a BBK

Keep in mind though, this is for a single stop. In the event of multiple, successive braking, like on the track where brake fade comes into play, that's a whole different ballgame. You'll definitely stop faster with a BBK in that case.

 

Larger surface area for a larger pad to create friction with makes sense to me.

 

All of which translates to the contact patch of the wheel...

Once ABS is engaged, it's all down to the size of the rubber meeting the road.

BBK makes sense in repeated hard braking - like on the track. In a panic stop from the speed we're talking about here - not so much.

 

[QUOTE=waijai;5405087]Larger surface area for a larger pad to create friction with makes sense to me.[/QUOTEYour brakes apply that pressure to create friction, like you said. At some point of friction, the wheel locks up and ABS engages. With your OEM brakes, they be utilizing 75% of their capacity to do that. A BBK might only utilize 50% of its ability, but the wheel will still lock up at the same level of braking as with OEM.

 

All I know is my car stopped much better after installing the RB 6/4 pot BBK.
