Very nice setup! How much did you wind up spending on it with the upgrade to the scalloped rotors?
A Mopar friend of mine said that the Wilwoods have a lot of caliper flex and that his friends have a standing joke about them. Have you noticed any problems at all?
Thanks!

I forgot what I exactly paid but it was in the $600 area for the whole kit(front only). The scalloped rotors were about a $60 upgrade each from the regular rotors. I thought they were a cool option and thought I would try them out. I have no regrets. each rotor I think is 3lbs lighter than the normal(5lbs vs. 8lbs).
As for flex at the caliper. I don't notice anything. I have the dynalites, were your friends talking about those?
If you live near the san diego, CA area I would happily give you a ride. Maybe you can tell if there is flex going on, all I notice is the harness digging into my chest harder than I ever would have imagined from my car
Overall I would say that the braking performce is mostly from the pads. It stopped better after the big brake kit, but when I installed the pads it showed me what a good stopping car was capable of. I'm sure the added rotor size, multi-piston calipers and the sticky tires all help too.
