Anyone order the High Performance Brakes? Are they worth the extra money.

It’s just different pads on the Street Pack brakes. You can buy them at the dealer for less than 1/2 the “package” price when ordering.

I did, and definitely not worth the money. They squealed horribly and I couldn't tell there was any additional power or less fade. They are a dealer installed item and my dealer had tossed my normal street pack brake pads on my back seat. I reinstalled them almost immediately. Just save your pennies for an actual BBK kit.

To second zdubyadubya's experience, there is no difference in performance under daily driving and very little if any under aggressive driving. The only difference is they do squeak in cold weather. My dealer never got around to installing the high performance before I bought it (Oct 2020), so I went through my first winter with the stock street pads and put the high performance on later that spring. This year, as soon as temps started to get below 45ish in the fall, they started squeaking.

So in conclusion, no, I personally don't think they are worth the extra ~$600.

SuperForged. They were a 1 of 2 custom collaboration with @Brucecris Get in touch with him to see if he had any further thoughts about selling a kit
