    also wilwood calipers are made for circle track racing and when the pads wear the pistons have a tendancy to cock off to one side and not retract this is just what i have experianced so most serious racers go brembo ap or alcon etc over wilwood

    Yeah the braklines are a little ordinary.Dave/Mr Awesome actually cracked the fitting to the body hardline during the week with fuck all pressure! Im actually getting a set made to screw straight in with no adapter fittings, and will be ADR Approved too.

    And the alcons/brembos have the additional pricetag to go with them. Unless you runa S13 front end where GTR brembos are cheaper, but still alot more than the Wilwood calipers are. I think they're more than adequite for 90% of people on here. Im super happy with my kit and the price I paid for them.

    Im currently working on that with Joel from spirited drive, will be a OEM slotted/dimpled Rotor slightly modified, but will be a damn sight cheaper than replacements from T3.
