+1. If you're experiencing brake fade on public roads, even with the stock brake system, you're doing something wrong.
As fas as the BMWP BBK - it certainly must be an improvement over stock. And the cracked pistons are only an issue with folks running certain pads, IIRC. Not only that, but you can easily upgrade the ceramic pistons to steel if desired ( Turner sells a kit). Not nearly as good as a real BBK, but last time I checked, they were half the price ($1500 vs. $3000). About a year ago, they were selling for $1000 - wish I had jumped on them then.
