But do you need more? Considering you say you don't track your car, I really doubt that you do!

Its a common misconception that a BBK will stop your car in a shorter distance. Pad compound, pad surface area, tire contact patch, and tire compound are what denote the stopping distance of a car. Big brake kits, are mostly just more resistant to heat. So if you find a BBK that has more pad surface area then that might help, but adding wider and/or stickier front tires will do much much more for stopping distance than a BBK will. Same goes for adding a more agressive compound pad to your stock brakes. A BBK will just mean that you can make more repeated hard stops in a row, but if you're not going to track your car, spend your BBK money on pads and tires if you want a shorter stopping distance.

I think the OP just wanted to start a poll.
 Honestly I bet you can find the weight of each kit if you look hard enough. It may take a Japanese interpreter but I'm sure it can be done. You might even get some monster rep if you post it up on the forum!
