Big brake kits...who's got 'em? what brand and size?
I am planning on going with the 355mm stoptech, but want to guage exeryone experiences. I will not be tracking the car (Nsx for that), but I do tend to drive pretty hard on the street and I am wondering if the 332mm kit would be enough for my use. TIA guys,

I'm also looking for a bbk for track use....anyone selling a used set?
If I had the money I would buy the stassis kit but right now I just need something that will fit under 17" wheels and hold up on the track. I am looking at 332 stoptech kit or the 993 ECS kit. I have the ECS kit on my wifes S6 and its been a solid setup and hold up well on the track but is very expensive to change rotor rings and pads. If anyone is thinking of selling their used BBK I would be very interested since I have an event this month and don't think the stock rotors will hold up.

I've got the 332mm Stoptechs with S8 rears
I love the setup. Very balanced and it soaked up all the abuse that I give it at the track. Last time out it was me and my co-driver hammering on the car back to back and the brakes never faded once.
332mm is more than enough, car is stage 3 + some other goodies power wise.

Frankly, save your money...buy good pads, stainless lines and flush fluid- ->
A BBK for street use is a waste of money unless you are looking for some bling.
355's are a TOTAL waste of money for street use..even the most aggressive. Get a good set of pads to reduce fade and increase bite, flush the fluid with a higher boiling point and firm up the pedal with stainless braided lines.
If you must spend more..have your calipers powder coated and treat your woman to night out.
