Sounds cool. Actually IMO most people do this for bling. Cuz the stock caliper are 2 piston front and 1 piston rear with suck pads. So upgrading pad will fulfill most peoples' requirement, even for those with turbo or supercharger kit.

BBK do improve the look of a car a lot.

Every single BBK I've looked at states whether or not the factory balance is maintained and if they work with the stock master cylinder.

In short, more pistons means each piston is smaller so the fluid volume required stays pretty much the same as long as the kit is well designed.

Unless you're doing it for the bling, you'll be far better off just getting better pads/fluid.
