2015 OEM Brake Calipers

One final thought guys. I don't care what kind of brakes you have on the car, if your tires aren't up to handling the new braking power you've just installed, then you are wasting your time, money and possibly your car as it goes sliding into that guys' rear end.

Since the tires are the last contact point for the car to the road, their size, condition, rating and so on are as important as getting a BBK, better pads or rotors. They are designed to work in harmony and it takes idiots like us to screw all that up. Think before you spend,

and then spend wisely, and sometimes it's wisest to do nothing at all.

Truth. So many times I see people install BBK for bling factors, then negative zillion degrees of camber and stretched to hell tires....and the car "stops amazingly because of the BBK"
