you cant loose with a brembo big brake kit. though i think its waste of money depending on what youre gonna use it for.

the hks twin power is also nice. if thats what youre looking into

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.
