I don't think I would trust my brakes to Megan. Check the prices of other kits, the name brand kits have lower prices.

Stick with your stock Brembos...if you want to brake better get new pads, fluid, and ss lines.

You don't need it yet, check out Ryan Gate's evo, he is still rocking stocker Brembos! Unless you want the BBK for shows, which is kinda retarded, because you normally wouldn't get megan to show off.

this is true but that is not to say that a larger brake system will not slow you down faster that just means that you can go very far with the stock system, I am sure that if he changed to say the brembo 6 pot system he could slow down faster but the law of diminishing returns kicks in, my point was more of for the price if this is a decent piece these may be worth the money, I also started out by saying that I did not think that these were of good quality

Big brake kits are really not for slowing down faster. They're for more fade resistance mostly.

Time attack is not nearly as demanding on the brakes as a 20-25min HPDE session. I dont see your point
