My Wilwood setup (fronts) was about $1400. Fantastic 6 piston breaks...amazing upgrade! Well worth the pain in my back pocket!

Man. I wish I won the lottery....

Im going with OEM Brembo replacements and HPS pads after much thought and consideration. Once I put down 450 hp then i'll think about 6 piston calipers.

Just a friendly tip when searching, type in rotors or brakes when searching for rotars and breaks.
