Seems like the threads/posts indicated a dramatic improvement over the stockers.

Much better for track usage. My pads wore at funny angles prior to installing the tyrolsport kit.

Speaking of which, do you buy a set for the front and a set for the rear?

I noticed a dramatic improvement, but it's no sub for BBK if tracking

Default Damn right! I can go DEEP on 10A/10B at Road Atlanta: NO FEAR!

Combined w/ a StopTech Stage 2 (OEM diameter, SS lines, Axxis Pads) this is an incredible braking "fix".

On OEM, it stopped a lot of caliper flex that causes cooking and uneven wear.

Default I have them with SS lines and HP+ pads and Brembo slotted rotors---

---- do I still "want" a BBK? Yes sort of, (have reservations about unintended results of modifications ie: increased pedal travel due to larger wheel cylinders, or changes in front to rear brake balance)
-----do I still "need" a BBK ? Well certainly not for public roads. For track days maybe. I could change pads from competition to street more easily instead of running these HP+s that are a bit of a compromise both places.
Main reason I don't have BBK already is that I don't wish to deal with spacers. (and I'm cheap )
