Maybe it is simply because they are the coolest thing in brakes I have seen in a while
The same reason I'm doing the C32 brake upgrade: stopping "too fast" is always, always better than not stopping soon enough.

Trying to keep up with Nick in the twisties last Saturday with his 6-piston calipers was a futile cause. Better brakes would have allowed me to go deeper into the corners than I could with my stockers. 5 minutes into the run, my rears wera audibly howling from the heat. Fronts had faded as well, but not as dramatically...
