Overall, it's strictly for better cooling to the front brakes, but it is one of the best braking upgrades, along with Axxis Ultimate pads & ATE super blue fluid, that you can do. BBKs are almost useless for anything other than show, the stock calipers stop more than well enough, they just weight a pretty hefty sum.
