Wilwood vs. Brembo
Does anyone that has either Wilwood or Brembo brakes have any input on how well they work for FDs?

Well, most (70%) of high-performance modded cars use Brembos, and it has a reputation as being the best. As for Wilwood, it may be "one of the best", but I don't think it's better than Brembo...Plus, alot of ricers use Wilwood lol...

PS- Wilwood is a stupid name

I'm almost in the FD3S club, I'm in negotiation stage right now. The one I test drove has Wilwood brakes in the front. Those are some big *** brakes. I like 'em... Brakes are brakes. hehe, besides, it gives you an opportunity to use the word Wilwood. hehe, uhh... hehe... He said wood...
