Well, in terms of functionality, I can tell you that the Wilwood, StopTech, and Brembo kits work very well.

C6 base brake kit works as well and pair it with DBA rotors/HP metallic pads/DOT4 brake fluid and SS braided lines your car will stop with 0 brake fade.

Any pics of them on a car? Been looking at the Wilwood for a while for they offer front and back. Not sure about the StopTech and Brembo if they offer a back caliper or not.

A litte amount. The best advice would be to grinde the two outer edges and even wit the top of outer bolt. Mount rim on car and test. Where it rubs and makes marks grind those spots it took me about 3 hours total. Any questions or if u want more pics just pm me and ill be glad to help

May have to hit you up on that, I've wanted a brake upgrade but kinda want to stay on 17's considering it won't cost me a bunch of money and I don't really want heavier wheels.
