BBK doesn't improve braking distance during a panic stop where brakes are fully applied... That has to do with tire coefficient as Hack said.

However, BBK improves brake feel and might require less pedal travel to acquire the same decelerating g-force comparing to the stock system in most cases, due to larger pad-rotor contact area and higher brake torque from the larger rotor diameter. So that is why a lot of people perceive such improvement as a reduction in braking distance.

Anyway, nice kit! Wish I have the cash for a set...lol Those decals have to go though...
