I found these guys a while back and am looking to get serious about a BBK upgrade.
I am pretty sure I have heard good things about them somewhere just cant remember. Anyways they offer the cheapest wilwood kits I have seen anywhere so does anyone have any experience with them? I like wilwood brakes, we used them on our SAE car and they are an awesome product.

I'd doubt that you could still retain it. You may want to either get a set of the stock Brembos for front and rear or try to find some rears only and still get a set of these Wilwoods for the front.
Whatever you do, just remember that some of the pics on his site have the brake rotor installed backwards.

reprinted frrom thier FAQ
Question: Why don't your kits include an emergency brake?
Answer: Nissan's have never been equipped with an emergency brake.....they have a parking brake.
Question: Same thing aren't they?
Answer: No not at all, An emergency brake means that if you're going 65 MPH down the road up to a red light and you have complete failure of the front brakes and also complete failure of the rear brakes you can pull the emergency brake and stop in time before the intersection. If you believe the hand brake will stop you in that situation then ..........tooth fairy, Brooklyn bridge, check's in the mail (pick one).
There were emergency brakes on cars in the 1920's
Question: How about a parking brake then?
Answer: I have a hydraulic line-lock to serve the parking brake function.
Question: But I live in San Francisco and have to park at the top of a steep hill and go
out of town for a month at a time.
Answer: Get a brick.
=============
The "get a Brick" comment makes me think there are no provisions for a parking brake in this setup. I sure its great for the track and for those who don't need it for the safty inspection.

Why don't you just buy the rear kit that comes with the parking brake?
Sure seems easier to me.
Wilwood 140-9507
