will be intresting to see if it shaves time of your laps, i would have thought it will, but only in a longer race where it wont take so much out of you, but we will see. i would like to know how you find them, how the lude feels with bigger brakes and wether its an improvement even in short races.
mine lock real easy, and i think there are improvements to be had with the feel over the stock set, would be great to have a more defined lock point.

loads of folk have fitted bigger brakes and say there great, but these are on cars used on a public highway where as yourtrack lude will be the definative answer and measurable :D

Maybe this thread is not too old to update.

I think you should read all this, if you still haven't:

I suggest reading all thread, but the best and most informative post:

By the way, I haven't noticed mentioning Legend, Acura TL or DC5 calipers in this thread. This setup should be at least 2 times cheaper, than BBK :) Adding 282 to the rear would be perfect, to my mind. Much better view :) And I think maybe 1-5% of those with BBK in forums really need them for breaking and fully uses them. But to be honest, I want that view too :D My dream is DC5 (or Acura ones, but I would grind off "ACURA" sign) + rear 282 :)

Thanks for the links. Have a looks at Buzzonions build, he is using Ford Mondeo 2007 302mm rear discs with the standard Lude/DC5 rear caliper ;) Im going to try and persuade PAW to make me a copy of their rear caliper adapters.
