Default should i keep the wilwoods
So I have the Wilwood Superlite 6 Big Brake Front Disc Brake Kits and the 4 piston rears

I will need new front rotors this season they way I drive guaranteed

Wilwood Drilled and slotted Performance Rotors $260.78 x2 $521.56 summit


I dont do road course or anything so I thing other than the they look sexy as hell factor they are just overkill I have been thinking of selling them and get a c5 kit or even just a Wilwood Dynalite Pro Series 4 piston kit for the front or some other "big brake kit"


OPINIONS?

If you sold them, I'd go the CTS-V brakes route, IMO

I am pretty sure they are the 12.90 the race ones. So they are thinner. They were on the car when I got it. I have 17" ttm's have to run a 17

I think you have to source all the parts yourself.

The C5's won't fit with TTM's without a spacer. Your choices are limited by that. I think the CTS-V's are out for you.

I didnt get a chance to pull the wheels and brakes to get part numbers but here a a few pics







still not sure If I want to keep them.. Seems like it would be a lot of work to sell them and find stock ones and upgrade pads and rotors or find a bbk that is more to my needs ..? idk
