Wilwood 4 pistons front BBK
Hello, I recently saw someone on Ebay is selling a Wilwood 4 Pistons front BBK for $790 shipped, I am wondering is that a good deal or what? I am not a track person, so I don't try to do too much of research on big brake kits, but this one it sounds pretty good.
And I am thinking, if I am getting this 4 pistons kit, i will just take the front OEM calipers and replace the rear OEM Calipers, hope that would work.
BTW I am newbie of cars, so I have said anything incorrect please let me know.

Unfortunately the front calipers will not work on the rears. That would be really nice though.
I'm sending you a PM here shortly. Good luck with your decision!

I was looking at this same exact kit and got some advice about it from someone who owned the kit. He highly recommended that I avoid this kit at all costs. The calipers are Wilwood and that's about it. Everything else are cheap parts - rotors, brackets, pads, etc... Nuff said IMO - brakes aren't something that I am willing to skimp on.
I think the best bang for your buck would be the Akebono 370z/G37 BBK. At $1200 for fronts it's a great deal and the entire kit is serviceable at any Nissan Service facility.

i've got the wilwood kit f/r. those brackets in the ad are nowhere near the strength of the kit i have. my .02 is don't touch it !
*if i didn't already have my bbk, i'd be all over the akebono setup.
