if it was me i would go for the Brembos, but i wouldnt put wilwood down at all, they are still a very good piece of hardware.

whatever falls into your price range is the way to go.

are you gonna be upgrading the rears aswell?? to keep some balance in the car since you are going with 6 pots on the front it will be best to upgrade the rears to at least a 2 pot caliper and also installing a brake bias adjuster will help with some fine tuning to get the best balance between front and rear for your driving style

I think you are going to be MORE than well off to have 4 pistons on the front with two pistons on the rear!

I honestly think you should save a bit of cash by going for 4 pistons, but if your set on them, go the brembos! ;)

well yes there is AP racing, Alcon, but since there was a question between Brembo and Wilwood......

they are all brand names aswell, what big difference does it really make anyways, not our choice

So is arguing about what the original poster asked ... is there no room for offering alternatives?

since we are here to help each other out and offer advice to help in the performance/styling and of course the hip pocket of our fellow antrxer's i dont see why we cannot offer alternatives...
