I'm open to the idea that maybe I don't need the AP racing kit, but I definitely want to upgrade them and I want to do it once. I don't want to get to the track and decide I should have spent another $2k in the first place and then have to pony up for another whole set of brakes.

I did print out the template for the 6-piston AP Racing kit and pulled one of my wheels off and it definitely would rub, so those are out unless I get new wheels.

So I'm thinking about getting the 4-piston front and rears unless there is a compelling reason to get something else?
a used set of akebonos, good pads, good fluid, and new wheel/tires is the way to go

a "big brake kit" is utterly useless on crappy rubber
