Question Wilwoods?

Hey,
What's the general consensus on the quality of wilwood brakes? I'm looking getting a pair of either the dynopros or the forged superlites for the front of my project car. Also, what about outlaw brakes? The 4000 series caliper looks like it might do the trick too.

I have no experience with the wilwoods, but can say that my outlaw 4000 's absoloutly do the trick. I believe this is what the Pettit kit uses. I have seen these for around 150 a caliper. Outlaw Part # 170-1780 and 1785. Using a 1.38 piston size. Keep in mind my car weighs about 2450 with out me.

Cheers

Wilwoods are generally well regarded, but some of the cheaper/smaller calipers are somewhat more prone to flexing than others.

Wilwoods are fine. I have a pair of the forged superlite 4-piston calipers and they look like like more then enough for virtually all rx-7's.
