u dont need a BBK to put your car on any track around here ... stock brakes are already better than a lot of other OEM brakes, not to mention with upgraded rotors or pads in OEM sizing you would do fine ... not worth the money for a BBK

M6 rims arent ugly on your car, but if youre gonna get BBS wheels they will ALL be "played out" ... its a BMW ... they all have BBS wheels ... my vote would be for HREs, but not a mesh pattern

BBK? That's just stupid...pretty soon are you going to ask us if you need a roll cage for street driving? Your brakes are fine...so was your suspension. Honestly, if you get that big brake kit you might as well turn your car into a dedicated track car. There is no other need for such advanced suspension and big brakes.

BTW...big brake kits don't always make it stop faster. They just dissipate heat better. I hated my slotted brakes on my RSX. They always had a weird feel to them...and I never tracked it so it didn't make any sense.

Not to mention they'll make turn-in feel pretty sluggish compared to the stock calipers and rotors.

Josh if your ever in need of tires, Go to Discount tires in CoolSprings by cosco.
I work there and they can get whatever you need and prolly give you a discount installing them cuz you know me....

I always thought big brake kits apply more stopping torque???? hence that bigger wheels to stock calipers do the opposite. IDK???

Around town the BBK would not benefit and be worse than stock calipers, but aggressive
driving they would help. They would be horrible in the cold though

I wish my stockers looked better. I think the rears
are getting replaced this saturday for free

But yea I wanted Iforged wheels I am pretty sure

Hate to say it Josh, but a BBK is a total waste of money.

So you sold the M6 wheels??? Those stock wheels suck for sure. lol. I wouldnt waste the money on the brakes. Just get some nice replacement rotors, stainless lines all around and some aggresive pads and thatll be more than enough. Also a front lip and wheels will set it off..

Get some TruForged, 360Forged, whatever wheels. Skip the brake kit, and get slotted rotors/pads/fluid, and save the money. I'd leave it alone after that. Maybe some sways, if it even needs them, but then again, if you're not tracking the car, don't bother.
