I would say no, but others would disagree. I think many say you need a BBK because on a track you are going a lot faster with the SC and therefore you are going to need to be harder on the brakes. Thus, the BBK helps a lot. If you go faster, you have to be able to stop faster.

On the street though, I really don't think it is a big issue. Just my 2 cents.

I agree. The non-trackers get them for looks only.

Keep in mind that that BBK is also going to cost you a few horsepower. Not really an issue for a track car where the ability to maintain braking lap after lap is a must, but it's just a total waste for a street application. My .02

i believe that the BBK is more about heat from heavy track use. the stock system can engage abs just as well as a BBK can, and you cant press the peddle any harder than that!

I would also agree with not going with a BBK if your not going to track the car. Do you have different pads or SS Brakes lines? That will help, but won't break the bank!

SS brake lines will make a difference?

SS lines will firm up the brake feel. Made a considerable difference on my Legend.
