Hect, trust me on this one bro. Go with the Stoptech Big Brake kit. Youll be much happier.

 

thats what i was going for anyway i just wanted to see what people thought about these brake's

 

The four pots seem decent. You'll get better fade resistance than with the stock two pots, but they won't be of the same quality as the stoptechs or the brembos. The calipers on the wilwoods tend to be a bit flexy, but I'm probably going to pick up a set pretty soon because I'm getting an awesome deal on them.

 

wilwoods 4pot suck on a heavy car like the subaru, they're fine for drag cars that only uses the brakes for 1 stop and are allow to cool down... The wilwoods will fade after 1 hard stomp... on the other hand, my stoptechs have been awesome. only time I got it to fade was 3 pass of 120+ to 0. way stiffer pedal feel compared to wilwoods, rotora, and brembos.

 

IIRC Wilwoods don't have a dust shield, so I think you either need to turn the rotors or get new ones more often than other companies?

 

go with AP racing
