That's why I got rid of mine. I had an old perrin kit that was on my RS when I got it. It got reaaaaal old with it flexing and creeking and it having sucked anyways for braking. My new setup includes 4pots, metal master pads, brembo solid vented rotors, goodridge stainless lines and my god what a huge difference. I had stainless lines that were specific to my previous wilwoods but still the setup sucked.

To anyone who thinks they want Wilwoods, you don't. The 6-pot setups might have improved a bit, but their 4-pot setups are designed for easy installation and bracket fabrication on hot rods, not performance. The feel like ****, they barely work, and you've got to run super-aggressive pads (that destroy rotors)to get t e same bite you would with a stock pad on 2-pots, let alone an FHI setup or something better like Stoptechs.

I ran them, this isn't just a hearsay rant. The wagon has Stoptechs for a reason; they're one of the best setups out there before price is taken into consideration, and are pretty much a no brainer with price as a factor. Plus, they actually are designed (the 328's) to work with your stock MC and stock brake bias; none of this having to upgrade other stuff to keep your car working correctly.

+1 for stoptech. I've driven a couple of cars with stoptechs (S4 & WRX) and omg they are insanely good. I barely pressed on the pedal and it stopped on a dime seriously! My 4pots are nice and are an inexpensive upgrade if you want can't afford stoptechs or other big BBK's.
