I would recommend StopTech C43 and C42 front and rear bbk, but I track my car hard, probably overkill in terms of performance and price for what you're looking for.

Beg to differ on that one. Thanks though. Many people buy BBK's for bling, and not into racing. The little Brembo's or STI set just don't get the look I want...or the Orange color. Been reading a bit on brake bias from switching, but with anti-lock brakes I don't see how that is an issue for the street.
Reviews I find are like this one.

I don't find people that own the K-Sport BBK's that are sorry they bought them for street use. The only one complaint I found was of the stock brake pads that come with the kit.
