This, I have a SC on my car and the stock brakes are doing ok so far and can tell they are fading slowly. But a quick simple fix is new pads, lines, fluid and maybe rotors if you want those.

Its a common misconception that a BBK will stop your car in a shorter distance. Pad compound, pad surface area, tire contact patch, and tire compound are what denote the stopping distance of a car. Big brake kits, are mostly just more resistant to heat. So if you find a BBK that has more pad surface area then that might help, but adding wider and/or stickier front tires will do much much more for stopping distance than a BBK will. Same goes for adding a more agressive compound pad to your stock brakes. A BBK will just mean that you can make more repeated hard stops in a row, but if you're not going to track your car, spend your BBK money on pads and tires if you want a shorter stopping distance.

I think the OP just wanted to start a poll.

Honestly I bet you can find the weight of each kit if you look hard enough. It may take a Japanese interpreter but I'm sure it can be done. You might even get some monster rep if you post it up on the forum!

But as you pointed out you can't really make a poll out of this. Asking for factual information would be far more useful.
Ahh unsprung weight not rotating mass - oops
