I think you should spring for the StopTechs. They're a little more expensive, but they're on par with the really expensive Brembo, Alcon, Endless, etc brakes. For $1600, they're actually a bargain for the performance.

 

The stoptechs are one of the best kits you can get for overall performance and value.

That's what we've been trying to find out. I've heard that Wilwood calipers don't have dust seals on the pistons, thus needing new seals more frequently (especially when used daily on the street).
So you can confirm that they do have dust seals? I'd like to find out for sure one way or another.

 

i have put several front kits on cars and even have a 4-pot set on my 255whp OBS.
FACTS: they are light calipers, there is a slight creaking from the calipers compressing, the SS lines provided work fine, the "E" pads are mettalic pads (they squeel when you brake). Use "Q" pads for normal/spirited street driving

I have logged over 15k miles on these brakes already. They work fine in wet/dry weather.

 

That's good to hear.
Does it mention anything in the spec sheets or manual about not having dust seals?
If you've had them on the car for that long and they're still working great without any leaks they sound good to me.

 

there have been no leaks to date.
I do clean out my breaks with brake cleaner every 3000k or so miles. I just take off the tire remove the pads, and spray away. that's it.ohh yeah there are no dust shileds. good for track running...not so good for street. The dust can become an annoyance on your clean rims and the dust can cake on the rotors. So you must clean the brakes routinely like i mentioned above.

 

I have a 4pot set on my Legacy with WRX roters. They are a little loud, but work really well. I've only driven 2K on them so maybe the noise will subside a little (mostly brake pad squeal, as christoph1371 mentioned). For the price you can't complain. They are light, fit under OEM 16" wheels, and stop much better than stock.
