are you plaining on racing the car or just driving. the willwood will look better but will not proform any better on the street. the ebay package will stop you goat on a dime. but just wont look as cool as a drilled and slotted rotor. I dont think willwood will proform any better on the street but on the track they will. want cool go with willwood or bear. want practical the kit on ebay will work great.

This kit is really no different from any MPP or other conversion package. And to say the wilwoods won't work as well on the street, no way. Maybe not the first couple stops in a trip, but once the heat builds up they will be much better. But that is all a function of pad compound. Wilwood does have a street compound which makes the overall compound difference negligible, but the larger rotors make a huge difference in leverage and WILL stop you faster than ANY factory style conversion kit. If you want to hit the track just switch out pads.

And while Xdrilled rotors look cooler, they are not truly performance pieces. This raises one the most heated debates this board can see.

thanks mate for the advice - this guy Scott is willling to do the cross drilled as well .... basically if I do with this kit on ebay I am looking at 1100, instead of 1750 from wilwood ..... hmmmm

thats more money left over for suspension parts ......
