It doesn't offer a lot of bling, i.e drilled/slotted rotors, but does help with braking. The front rotors are massive so unsprung weight is higher but they sure have a lot of metal to absorb the heat! Replacement rotors are also pretty inexpensive.
If you are going to track the car then you should also upgrade the fluid to DOT 4 and install better pads. I use ATE Super Blue/Typ 200 fluid and this year switched to EBC Yellowstuff pads.
If you are going to track on short tracks with heavy braking then think about adding a front brake cooling kit.
So far I've run 9 track days on both short and high speed tracks with no brake fade at all. The car stops at up to 1 G with the KDWs.
The EBC Yellowstuff pads do not squeal around town like my Ferodo pads did last year.
The big disadvantage with this kit, and othe BBKs is that you need 18 inch wheels and you need to make sure you get ones that will clear the front calipers.
