I would not say that Wilwoods suck. They are actually a very high-quality product. The name isn't as well known to alot of the import tuner crowd but don't mistake that for poor quality. I'd seriously consider the Wilwoods if were you, I'm guessing you'll be pleasently surprised. I'm not as familiar with Rotora's overall quality.

maybe because they cost way less than brembro so they must be bad?

Hey DumB A$$ make sure you do some research before you go baggin on people's set-up. I've had my Willwoods for about 7 months now and I'm very satisfied. Hope your damn dealer charges you an arm and a leg.

There both really good. They probably based lower, compared to brembo and AP, because they are of lesser quality, but thats only because brembo and AP are f'ing super quality brakes. So to answer your question, you can go for either, and i'm sure you wont be changing any time soon.

All of them are about the same if the rotors are the same size. BBK is good for releasing heat but not necessarily good for reducing stopping distance. Especially when you are talking BBK VS BBK.

I would go Wilwood cause I think it's a tad cheaper, but be careful on what pads you get, I know some can cause some noise. Get good quality pads on whatever setup you get and you'll be FINE.

LOL @ Glen.

WIlwoods are great rims! shariff has them on his beast TT and they have served him well on the track and on the street. I like the design of the wilwoods the best i think of the 2. Bost pretty good brakes you cant lose.

Both kits are just fine dude, it's going to boil down to what's in stock and price.

They're both good. If you're going to do street driving you won't use even 20% of the performance of any bbk on the market today. Even on the track any name brand BBK on the market will last you for a full day on the track.
