I can't say I know a lot about them, but I've seen them on racecars before. I've also read that name on ads for racecars for sale. I'm guessing they are one of the premium names in brakes... Like AP Racing - Most people haven't heard of them either, but they put brakes on some Formula 1 cars.

I love the uneducated discussion here. ::sarcasm::
Let's not talk about specifics of what is required in good brakes and if Wilwood has these attributes or not. ::sarcasm again::

WTF is your problem *******. acting all smart because you're behind a computer. My question was to find out the quality of the brake system, not some smart *** answer. It sounds like you're trying to be the expert here.

My brother ran wilwoods' drag brake setup on his mustang, very nice and very light... Drag brakes are completely different from a street setup but they are very high quality, and probally represent their street stuff well...

...Without the requisite knowledge to back it up.

What were you doing when you found the limits of your stock braking system? Do you get to that limit often? I am sure you weren't asking for aesthetic reasons because then the quality of the kit would not matter as much as what colors are available (which we all know is priority number one).
