Sorry to beat the dead horse here, but ppl keep saying this and it's factually incorrect.

While the improvements are not drastic like a BBK (and the cost isn't also).

There are benefits more than show:
  • Bigger disc, higher thermal capacity
  • fixed caliper
  • easier pad changes
  • availability of parts

While they will "run into the same issue as oem brakes", they provide an improvement over stock brakes. You might consider them slight improvements, or slightly more, but they bridge the gap between stock and bbk while using all OEM parts which give you the safety and reliability of a proven setup over some retrofits of unknown quality and rotors that are hard to source.
