Who's running BBK?

I'm sure we've ALL seen the white coupes with DC5R brakes, both with the K20A swaps.. Anyone else out there running BBKs?

Re: Who's running BBK?

eh...unless you're packing the power to require bbk, this is just another expensive cosmetic upgrade imo.

Re: Who's running BBK?

.....or if you have two warped rotors, 2 bad calipers and one exploded rubber brake hose. But agreed, I guess it depends on how you drive, I live near a small track, Blackhawk Raceway, and I go tool around out there often.

Well that's your opinion, and it's incorrect.

(While putting a BBK on a stock daily driver wouldn't be the smartest idea as you would lose way too much power, I don't think you even knew that)

You don't need to be fast to need better and bigger brakes. Stop watching Overhaulin' and learn a thing or two.

Better & faster braking is not a cosmetic upgrade, any way you look at it. When you need to stop, you need to stop.

i agree with you on better stopping power, but if you're just commuting, stock brakes with a d17 is more that enough stopping power. why try and show off big *** brakes/rotors with just a cute motor?

Re: Who's running BBK?

you don't need big calipers like you don't need a BBK. Just for looks i guess..just saying it looks kinda out of proportion. Maybe get some superlite calipers will do, but don't think they will clear your rims.

I take my car to the track, not to compete but to have fun. I trashed my stock brakes if you read my previous post. I have the Dynalite calipers, they are almost exactly the same as the Superlites. I had to put 25mm wheel adapters on to fit what I got.

Haha, why are you repeating what I said? Or did you not get it when I posted?

Again, I'm not talking to/about people who have stock cars and do nothing but drive to school and work. If you can't get past that, stop posting in here.

Back on topic, please.

they probably are the same deep down, but just in terms of looks, they are a lot bigger.
