If you already have any of the 'blue' Brembos then I think you would be wasting your money (or it would be a cosmetic change), especially if you don't track. It is a massive visual upgrade either way (and yes, you always need 18" wheels, and even some of those won't fit w/o spacers - not quite as tight as the M4 kits I've seen, but they really fill the wheel.

I'm very jealous. I looked into doing this upgrade and decided it would be less expensive to just trade my car in and get the same car but with the sport package that comes with M sport brakes and larger wheels.
