No, I am not kidding.

Remember the question, "aside from with extreme driving--what are we buying with this?"

On a street car, these brakes are for show.

With the right pads matched to conditions, tires and the road course in question, they can be of benefit to a driver of sufficient skill to take advantage of them. Even then, the stock brakes are fine as long as you get proper cooling to them, choose the correct pads, etc.

Even an extremely aggressive drive on the street is not going to be held back by the stock brakes.

By bigger brakes if you like the show, but do not fool yourself you need them or can even use them for the street.
