Overblown, the Brembo BBS package is mostly for bling most who actually track/autox their cars will agree. If you care about performance you'll save $3.4k and not get that. More pads will be available for stock calipers I'd bet than OE style Brembos (one will have a lot more running around on the street with higher demand for high performance pads unless the Brembo's use a super common shape, not usually when they're sold as OE) and I'd be willing to gamble RPF1's are lighter as a second set of track wheels.

The 86 retails at a bit under $27k, MX-5 RF Club a bit under $33k, $6k difference is nothing to sneeze at, but nowhere near $10k if you actually care about performance value.

Same thing when everybody around here was also throwing out similar numbers for the soft-top MX-5 when they were like $33k for a fully loaded club, any excuse to try and make their purchase seem like it wasn't 'wrong' since the MX-5 is faster.
