Well I installed my wilwood brakes. These brakes are real nice and work very good. I have the 13" front rotors with 6 pistons and 12" rear 4 pistons. I ran the 7/8 manual master. I still need to bleed them again. The pedal effort isn't hard at all, although the pedal travel is a little longer than I like. I tested my 60-0 stopping with my friend in the car and it took 2.5 seconds. I don't know how many feet that is but these brakes bite good. I took pics and posted them in this link https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32111

Good to hear you like it. I have the same setup, but with power brakes and a 1-1/16th M/C and I can hardly lock them up at all. It seems like a two-step pedal; first inch or so is nice and easy and grabs nicely (perfect for normal driving), but when I really stand on it I get through that initial bite and then I guess I've gotten all the vacuum assist I'm going to get and I'm relying strictly on my leg power, but with the poor power brake ratio of 4:1 instead of the 6:1 you probably have. The car stops hard enough but for the money I'm not impressed. I'm ordering a 7/8ths M/C before I pass final judgement, but I think the Wilwood 6 piston bores, at a total of 4.0" area, are undersized, and require mucho PSI.
