OK, to stop the beating of the dead horse, nobody is going to argue much over some of the points made. That being said the truth is that most of us upgrade to the BBK is to rid ourselves of the OEM caliper because it is not a matter of if, but when, your calipers will seize up. Look it up. It's a notorious Toyota truck issue. Some of us will simply keep replacing oem for oem, some - like myself - say screw it and go with a BBK.

At this point I have no regrets upgrading and I can say without question these are an improvement over stock in day-to-day driving. I would go so far as to say the pedal and braking feel are on par with that of an M car (and I know this). No way would I compare it to say it stops as fast, there's just simple physics of weight / grip that can't compare. However it will throw you at the dash like the originals never did.

Does it feel better - yes. Does it brake better - definitely. Was it worth it - depends on who you ask, for me yes.
