i would say don't do what i did. i tried to do it in baby steps. i got new hotter pads, stainless steal lines. i even fabricated cooling ducts just to keep my brakes cooler on the track. not an easy task. that was all a lot of time and money. i finally went ahead and got the BBK and couldn't be happier. in the mean time i blew about 600 bucks in all the other stuff i did trying to avoid the BBK.

just do it the right way the first time and go straight to the BBK. if you don't track your car there is really no need for it. good luck.

It would be easier to provide information if you would be a bit more specific about your needs. Are you going to track the car or autocross or are you just looking for something to look good?
