Maybe I'm just a sensitive little bitch.

When considering the BBK, also note you may have clearance issues with your wheel setup.

I don't think you'll see much of an upgrade with a BBK unless you start using really grippy tires or R-comps anyway. And Don't think they clamp any more agressively than stock since it's the same sized master cylinder and the fluid volume isn't really changing. Isn't it just more linear brake feel and greater resistance to fade?

make sure the BBK you buy can work with the rims you choose.

Lack of ABS doesn't cause accidents.

Lack of driving skill does.

Be careful out there! I'd spend the money on track day instruction and tires.

Before even considering brakes...What kind of tires do you have?

i love how all he asked was if ABS works on these new brakes and everyone turned into a questionnaire about if he really knows what he buying and if he is tracking or DD'ing the car. Lets stick the question he is asking and not give him a life lesson.
