Honestly, I like BBKs because a properly designed one will drop weight so the whole "more rotating mass, longer stopping distances!" argument is null. The benefit to me is in HOW the car stops. My WRX needed new pads after a full 3" exhaust because the stock brakes couldn't handle slowing down the car from speed anymore.
A rotor with more heat capacity and more pad, with more swept surface will FEEL tons better. I don't like jamming the pedal and feeling like I'm not slowing down. Stock brakes are definitely adequate for a N/A car (pad change required IMO), but I'd never run stock brakes, even with a higher
Cf pad, on a turbo.
