Wilwood brakes for road course
I've been looking at brakes as the season is over. And found a wilwood kit that fits under 17" wheels, consumables are reasonable, with good pad selection as well.
Any one use this?
Car is mostly HPDE, looking to try some TT next season.

OE brakes have been good for the last few years. But the price of rubber parts, pads, rotors etc is getting old.
The prices of all the above in wilwood parts could easily justify the initial expense over a season and a half.

Pistons: 4 Rotor Diameter:12.19 Caliper Mount:Lug Wheel Diameter: 15 Flange: Axle Offset: 0
Many guys have been using the AP Racing kit from Essex
Pads are MUCH cheaper, Four piston caliper, 325mm x 32mm, and saves 7lbs at each wheel.

oem setup with brake duct has been working great for me for 50+ track days in two years. centric rotors from Rockauto are $90 shipped for two fronts. i use two sets a year. ST43 pads are decent for street tires and last pretty long. iv'e used a variety of pads for rcomp tires though.
nice thing about oem setup is that if i crack a rotor at the track, i can usually pick up a new rotor at local Autozone or Advanced

That always helps when there are people that share the same parts.
