Why? Do the 250 brakes suck that bad?

Please tell me you guys actually NEED these. I haven't had an opportunity to take mine out on the track yet, but I expect the stock brakes to be absolutely fine! Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if these huge Stoptech calipers require a larger master cylinder to move them. You'll probably loose the responsive pedal feel that you're getting now from the stock brakes.

dang, 6 piston, 355mm up front, those are some serious binders
I'm a huge fan of Stoptech, amazing customer service/product, a few years ago I worked with Matt, Paul (no longer with ST)and Jeff (sales) to help develop the Volvo kit a few years ago.
As soon as I get extra funds, I'll be calling Jeff to place my order
nowadays. with most of these morons driving on our roads, you need big brakes to avoid their poor driving abilities

Tracking the car is an expensive proposition. I can get perhaps 4-5 days total from a set of gs-d3's or ps2's so that adds up to about $250-$350 in rubber per day. Add in gas, pads, rotor destruction, and the daily fee and you could be looking at $500-$700 a day when all is said and done (not to mention the day off work). $2*00 for the front kit is expensive in absolute terms. However, it's not in relative terms.
Last but not least, they get a lot of

While the stockers could probably handle that with upgraded pads, SS lines with motul or ate, a BBK is good insurance against the brake fade that could rear it's ugly head at the worst possible moment.
All conjecture. Stoptech does a lot of research in regard to brake bias and compatibility with the existing brake hardware. They are only offering the ST-60 calipers in front as they found that the less expensive and more popular ST-40's didn't work as well (piston sizing, pad shape and availability, etc.) Contrast that with other companies that will sell their brakes if they physically fit.

My comment about the master cylinder is strictly from the experiences the S2000 guys are having with Stoptech kits (and other brands). I drove an S2000 with a full Stopteck kit, and it required WAY too much pedal travel for my taste.
