Yea. Worried as well. Especially with the drive back. I'll hold off I guess... We have more than enough to do as is. BBK would just look so cool.

The sport brakes look good, it is true. But they are no BBK ...

my whole thing is, I got mine from someone, who got them from someone, and heaven knows who was prior to that.. then outta the blue, I start having issues..

which led to me, to having them rebuilt, new hardware, new lines, new bleeder screws... just to give me peace of mind.

It's a toss up between the 2012 Nissan Altima with Ricor coffee table wing and "hood scoop" or the Dodge Dart with those big bright red palstic caliper covers super glued on that drive around my city.

I have no intentions of lowering myself to that level. I just don't track my car. A BBK would be waste on me.

Actually the BBK we have on our Speed3 is really nice on the highway / back roads as well. Mostly because i live in Southern california, the confidence of never getting stuck in somebodies trunk because they panic braked over something is REALLY nice...

And as long as you do the caliper covers nicely nobody would know

The Z stops fast enough it'd be believable haha

Nah. If I do it, it'll be done the correct way. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. hahaha
