At that price just buy one of the TCE or official wilwood kits.

It is a downgrade. Wilwoods have very narrow brake pads and will not use the whole surface of the OEM brake discs. Wilwood - 42,5 mm, OEM - about 55 mm.

Gotcha, very good feedback. Sounds like a pass from me.

For the money spend a couple bucks more and get the real kit with the better wilwood calipers and 2 piece rotors
https://www.waymotorworks.com/wilwoo...1.75-race.html

Also we include better lines custom made to fit perfect.

are theyre any other less expensive options? My brakes are the weakest link on my car now after all the other upgrades. Would just pads make sense for a daily? I want a firmer pedal primarily. I have already bled with motul and changed to SS lines.

I like that kit, stock rotors are 35 $ and wilwood pads are 85 $ and wilwood typically are a lot easier to change the pads, just pull a pin and pull them out
