Thanks for all the compliments! It looks like a whole different car to me every time I open the garage now.
The part numbers are: 71MB8095B72A - Fronts & 71MB8105B77A - Rears
I feel like they fit perfectly. I did have to BFH the rear inner wheelhouse on both sides & while I wasn't thrilled to do it, once I re-coated it, you can't even tell. My bump stops are still stock too.
I did change the rear springs from the Pro-kit that I had before to the SLP Level II springs to raise the rear up ma little. As it sits in these pics, I have no rubbing issues & didn't have to roll the quarter panel edges.

Thanks guys.
Blasius, the Wilwoods are a badass kit! You will be happy with em. Well made and great looks. The car stops on a dime now too. I assume you went with the 13" rotors? Your car looks mean as hell!

have you had any problems with the back tires locking up? I ask because I've read tons of people saying you shouldn't upgrade the back brakes. Thanks

Nope, not at all. I've tested them out pretty well for hard street driving with no problems. I was worried that it would change how the ABS reacted, but I have not noticed a difference there either.
