That all assumes that you happen to have the perfect caliper in your parts bin. As stated previously, it's not just as simple as grabbing any old caliper out the parts bin and slapping it on the car. Calipers and discs are typically designed to work together. Think of them like peanut butter and jelly. OEM parts and proper racing parts also typically have some fundamentally different design characteristics and objectives. Mixing and matching the two isn't that simple. Below are some of the basic requirements when looking to mate a particular caliper to a particular disc:
People will, and do, slap all types of rear brake setups on these cars, but that doesn't mean they're actually improving anything other than looks. In many cases performance is actually hurt more than it is improved. |

I think one advantage of Brembos is, that you can run them all the time everywhere. No problems with salt and dust. I cannot recall a BBK for this car that can be run like this.

This is because street/OEM Brembo calipers use dust boots which are known to melt on track. I'll be running my RR Racing BBK this winter here in wonderful Canada and I'll be reporting on how my pistons look when the season ends.

This and 2-piece rotors, where the salt is damaging the joints.

Here are some prices.
Front: Rear: Not listed are the brake lines which have a different part number and different "high flow" description in the name but same price as the original stock brake lines.

How thick are the pads on the OEM Brembos pads? I know AP's are around 20mm

Keep me posted, that's the biggest reason I don't have a BBK on my car yet I'm too busy/lazy to swap calipers/rotors/etc winter/summer, wheels/tires and pads is enough for me .

Sure there are. I have the Cosworth AP racing kit with 356x32mm disc. The CP7040 is a caliper designed for all year round road use but derived from a race caliper. It has all the nice features such as ant rattle shims, dust boots, aluminium pistons ect... The massive disc means you can run and mild pad without fade at the track and you wont melt the dust boots as temps are quite low. Tradeoff is it heavy and requires wide 18" wheels to clear. |

Generally I agree, for street the milder pads the better, and running pads that needs heat to work on street is totally wrong in my opinion. But when I look at your kit's price, I think that the Brembo upgrade will be still good for more performance oriented guys but not people who live on track of course. I imagine adding a cooling, changing fluid and pads a they should be quite capable for a good price in the OEM package |

I agree the brembo is more affordable, especial used. I have a buddy who I do some trackdays with. He has the full brembo and a harrop supercharger. He needs to run more aggressive pads than I do otherwise he gets fade. ALso the Iron Brembo caliper are heavy and absorb and store more heat than aluminium so he uses titanium shims. Its understandable as its a 325x30mm disc vs the 356x32mm AP disc. Time will tell if he burns the paint, but he went for black which makes it less noticeable. Mine are bright yellow which shows any sign of burning by going a nice shade of brown. |

Great setup you have. Maybe you convince me, lets wait for some PP reviews
I had no idea that BBK are also painted, I thought in general they are just andoized and thus they don't survive winter. Here we also have salt. Good to hear that your joints are fine!
