The HKS Twin Power is basically a "twin strike" ignition module which pulses the plug twice instead of once. There are a few different schools of thought on how effective it really is, but I know on the FD it can take you from 400rwhp to well over 600rwhp. Really the more effective option is swapping to a stronger ignition amp if you have an external ignition amplifier, or swapping to stronger coils like GM LSx Yukon style coils with built-in amps and running them COP.
As far as the BBK, Brembo makes the best brakes in the business. But I often think it's a waste of money unless you do serious road racing/auto-x or something competitive. If you're getting it just for the bling factor I vote skip it and put your money somewhere else. The brakes on the MS3 are good enough for most situations. The main benefit to a BBK isn't always stopping distance, but mostly brake fade resistance. You also need to keep in mind your brake proportioning and front/rear bias, otherwise, such as is all too common with BBK upgrades, you get too much front brake bias due o the larger piston surface area, so you end up with worse braking than before.

way back in the day we had a memeber by the name of Tyler. He lived up in Boulder and went to school up there. he had a 03 or 04 Mazda 6 V6,,, He did a Bremo kit and it was pretty sweet.. he had alot of mods done to his car,, He was one of the first memebers way back in the day, I dont think hes still around at all,,, I think his name on here was like zoomzoom6 or something,, I cant remember,, But anyways, It was a pretty nice set up and damn could he stop on a dime.. If you had $3-4k to blow on a kit, then do it, But If I were you I would spend it on other mods..

Street unit has some blacked-out flying m's.
I keep thinking about getting them myself...not too certain on how it would look on silver though.
But on white, that would be sweet.
