Message	Facts: Brakes work on friction, mass & leverage. The larger the rotor the better is acts as a heat sink, the less fade you will have on REPEATED stops. The larger the rotor the better your leverage is. The larger the pad is the more friction surface you can apply to the rotor. Typically they are also better compounds then stock or generic AutoZone pads. IMHO anyone that says that a BBK is not worth the money has never driven a car w. one installed. They are also the same people that will glue 400lbs of fiberglass to their car and tell me its "worth it". Period.
