With my BRZ's current power level and the cooling ducts and titanium pad shims installed and working well while pushed hard on track, I really haven't felt the need to drop over $2k on a BBK. The stock calipers and rotors haven't shown any signs of damage or stress when tracked hard. My dust boots even look fine after many track days. If the car had 300whp I'd want more thermal capacity in my brakes and would probably get a BBK.
Could I use more stopping power and thermal capacity? Sure. Do I feel like the car needs it right now enough to justify the cost? No. I got a great deal on the cooling kit and I have no issues paying $50/rotor and running race pads. I understand that a BBK's consumables are more cost efficient over time for a track rat like me, but I'm still very satisfied with the braking performance and consistency when I'm pushing the OEM gear hard on track considering the way I've prepared it.
