You might try to do a little of the work - like links to the systems you're asking about, or specific questions you may have. It might also be useful for people who respond to know what car these are going on, and how you propose to use it.

The setup I have is a 1970 442 convt. running factory Chevelle disc spindles up front with 11" rotors & rear discs off a '95 Caprice 9C1 cop car. The front is being upgraded from a (circia 1995) B-body spindle/Hotchkis upper control swap with SC&C sourced Howe Precision Series tall/xtall ball joints & custom fabricated upper control arms that Mark & I came up with. The car is also receiving an upgrade from old the old (1995) PST sway bars to the nice Hellwig bars (hollow front/adjustable rear). The wheels are 15" steel & the tires change between 245/60/15-235/75/15. This car sees brutal street (police evasion type) action. The 15" wheels are non negotiable. I'm looking for supreme durability & longevity with minimal maintenance. Racing calipers/components are great as long as you pull constant maintenance on them (which I don't want to do). I'm looking for DOT street type components & regarding the D52 caliper was wondering if anyone out there had any real world experience with the Wilwood D52 caliper or the SSBC Super Twin direct replacement calipers.

They appear to be a similar product. Does one outshine the other?
