Wilwood brake pad/rotors whatever....

I wanna replace my rotors and pads well the whole setup to Wilwood in a bigger show quality size, I have 19" TSW mondello's and they have alot of open space just think of an inch bigger version of the like 2002ish z06 rims, i have crappy looking rotors and pads and want someting that would "show" very well. Any one have any suggests for a nicer little bit larger setup? I'm not deadset on wilwood i don't know jack about who has the best setup i just saw 2 muscle cars at a show in couer d alene with wilwood front and rear..the guys were ********* and wouldn't talk to me bout where they got em or nothing, they were like just graduated high school preps or something...

Show quality is a good description of wildwood stuff... affordable show quality.

It really depends on what you want to do with the car... if you're into show but not necessarily high performance... and you're on a limited budget... wildwood would probably work out nicely.

There was a GP on precision brake kits on tech. Not sure if it is still on.

Willwood offers the best priced 6 piston caliper w/ a nice set of bigger rotors and steel braded brake lines. However, I would sway (if money wasn't a consideration), to go with a 6 piston Baer or even Brembo set-up for quality, or show. They will more than likely perform better, and last longer + I think they look much better than the Wilwoods.

I have recently looked at prices for all of these brake kits, and Willwoods 6 piston is less than half the price of either the Baers, or Brembos.
