Unless you're really really stuck on using your stock wheels, even only in the winter, I wouldn't buy them. No better than FHI 4 pots and the Wilwood calipers flex.
I've got willwoods on mine and it's been a month since install.
I'm not sure what flex BAN is talking about but so far my brakes are great. I'm running it with stoptech rotors.
Reason for going with wilwood 4 pots is that I have to use stock wheels.
BTW, the old style 4 pot wilwoods do look flimsy. The ones I have are the latest version. They are sweet looking. If you've seen the perrin 4 pots, it's the same brakes since3 wilwood makes it for them.

Im running the real deal Wilwood's 6-pots in the fronts and 4-pots in the rear. You will need at least 17" wheels to fit the front calipers. They come with E-pads. Very noisey and dusty pads.
If you are mostly for street,change the pads to the Q-type. Which are almost noiseless and dustless.
These wilwood are a powerful braking system. I had the FHI 4-pots before the wilwoods and there is no comparision. There was no difference from stock to FHI since they use stock rotors.
Wilwoods are 13" front rotors and 12" rear rotors.
Good luck,
Don
