I hate the feel of the stock brakes on this car. This may be the first car I've tracked with ABS, and maybe that may be it, but I feel like they have the feedback of a Camry. The stock brakes on my 83 rx7 with Hawk HP+ were light years ahead of these things in terms of pedal feel, feedback and resistance to fade.
The thing about brakes is you have to drive it to see if you like it. You cant gauge performance or feel through a keyboard. Get out there and see if someone will let you drive their car around the block. I'd hate to spend $2400 on a BBK and feel the same way I do now.
