upgraded WILWOODS [pics]
Upgraded my Wilwood BBK to a 6-piston front caliper. Also am testing a complete Wilwood rear kit that I have for sale. (PM's welcomed).
Pedal feel is now rock hard and has very responsive modulation.

i was gonna get 6pot wilwood kit but I never liked the way the calipers looked. I still love my 4pot wilwood kit.
as for rear, too bad it is on stock sized rotors, I was about to get someone to custom make brackets for rear wilwood calipers on my powerslot plus 12.5 inch rotors but i couldn't find a guy who can do it.
BTW, front and rear sets look awesome together!!!

thanks guys. the wheels are 18 x 10 -15mm offset all around, wrapped with 275/35/18 AVS Sport tires.
The rear kit is available as a kit, I think it's around $600 or so -- e-brake function is retained. The kit is just the bracket, calipers, pads and lines. Your rotors stay stock or you can "dress up" like I did with some R1 Concept drilled/slotted ones.
I don't like the size difference either, but I like the proportioning the way it is. Done with the brakes for now.

these bbk's are mostly for shows rather than a performance.
