Either way like I said, some people will absolutely fade the stock brakes and require a BBK. But that simply isn't justifable for people that don't track enough to require it, nor the people that do time attack and are only on the track for a few laps at a time or auto cross. Not everyone will need a BBK, so you can't project your use case onto everyone.
I do not excessively brake. I brake late and minimize the time I stay on the brakes. I’ve been tracking > 30 years. Out of the people I know with F8x and f87, blue brakes are fading before 20 min. Open track and lapping sessions are at least 30 min, some 45 min, and the blue brakes are worthless by/before 20 min. I guess I prefer a consistent pedal so I’m confident every time I nail the brake pedal. It’s a waste of money if you’re having to manage the brakes after < 20 min on track.
