Also, they are more agressive and will wear out your rotors more quickly. And, they have a natural tendency to squeal unless heated and in Street Driving, you're just not on the Brakes Often enough, Long enough or Hard enough to prevent this. Finally, they cost more and for the Street offer less performance.

I hear ya. The other car in the garage is a Jetta with a Wilwood racing brake kit,great for breaking and greatly annoying on the streets. They stop the car amazing fast,but unless you have a heavy foot on the brake or have been driving the car for hour the brake squel EVERY TIME. I can not argue with how they brake though,it is truely amazing.
