Personally, those brakeman kits may be awesome, but they don't have the "look" that I am after...it has to be a compromise between performance and looks....this isn't a purpose built racecar, this is a pro-touring style setup, that I want to take on the powertour, run Pro-touring events, and do some track days, along with drive to work occationally. I understand I am going to give up some over a pure race setup...at the same time, the car itself, is giving up some to dedicated 4th gen race cars (about 500lb to be exact). So to me the decision really probably boils down to a Wilwood Kit, or the CTS-V caliper (which rotor is the one to pair with this), or pony up and buy a more expensive aftermarket kit. I am open to anything at this point...I'm virtually about to have an aneurysm over this stuff. I got the motor decided on and being built, suspension and ancillary parts are ready to go, I even have the seats picked out...The brakes...oh, the brakes (my head hurts)!

I can appreciate the "looks" as a major factor and agree the Brake Man calipers are not as SEXY
as some of the others that you are considering! Well good luck on your brake decision and hope I did not offend by the recommendation.
