have upgraded their wheels to accomodate more rubber, more braking mass, to increase braking efficiency and reliability. Is there any published data to support the claims that you make about the Wilwood kit? I know some tt.net members have them, and they "work well", but where are the numbers? Where is the real-world testing and comparisons? The biggest 3 brake designers can't be wrong with this (ST, AP, Brembo - even the Porsche kit). The ST kit is even a bit cheaper than the Wilwood kit. For an additional ~$400 for larger wheels, that makes the two kits about even in price. Now you can accomodate more rubber, provide more stopping contact area, and really utilize the braking force. I'm sure that an amateur driver, like myself, wouldn't notice the difference in the two kits - brake:brake. However, I believe I'd notice a measurable difference having more rubber up front (and in the rear) to help me turn and stop. I believe this is a constructive "argument", we just needed to have both sides of the coin for the jury. SS
