      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.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
