60-0 stopping distance with a Brembo 320mm Big Brake kit

For those owners who have installed the Brembo 320mm Big Brake upgrade kit, what improvement have you noticed in 60-0 stopping distance?

Here's a very good test write up
The test car is a 350Z but you'll get the idea.
Big brake kits don't really make that much difference in distance. Where they have the best advantage is in heat dissipation.
Read the article all the way through.

it would make a very small difference if not at all...
these big brake kits are made to be more consistant than stock kits. why not consider stoptech's? they are getting much attention now and are cheaper than brembo's..
i don't know the differences between these two makes, but seriously i would rather go with stoptech.
we need input from the brembo side
cool thread

Cooper S --- Lots of mods all here
