Big brake kits don't improve stopping distances in many cases, they improve stopping repeat performance. You'll get a little extra leverage from a larger rotor and caliper, but mainly you're gaining the ability to stop hard over and over again without thermal fade..

OMG swoon. You had me at hello.

Finally someone f’ing gets it!!

I always cringe when someone brags “I just installed a bbk and I can do endo’s and lift my rear end, omg brakes are so awesome…”. Blah blah blah.

that’s not how it works.

From a maintenance standpoint moving to springs in the rear makes a difference and if you tow you can add supplemental airbags and retain the compressor for that purpose. The sensors are I think discontinued from gm? So is the compressor. So it's really a matter of cutting your losses in case things break down the road.
