Plenty of 24 hour race teams in Europe run on stock system with metal guide pins and race rotors/pads.

Even in the US club racing world, plenty of BMWCCA cars out there stripped and such running stock brakes (fast boy Eric Wong's CM E46 comes to mind).

In your case, these brakes are lightyears ahead from previous gens. I would get that thought out of your head otherwise you will be struggling to spend and upgrade I just saved you $5K...
