Message So I installed my new Wilwood front brake kit from Rusell Siebert at RMS Horsepower last week. I was extremely impressed in the quality (sorry for the dirty pic):

Naturally, it was time to really test them at the track (MSR). Unfortunately, MSR was crowded on Saturday with all of these exotics:
Lambos-

F40s (only 3 of them):

Porsches (2 GT2s, 996TT, GT3):

GT3- (driver was slow, but at least the car was actually on the track):

Vipers:

Noble M12:

Russell and Mike next to Mike's 350, Rich's 350, and a Noble:

Saleen S7:

My Z looked out of place in the parking lot with all the exotics, but not on the track:

I did OK, but Russell pretty much lapped the whole field in my car.

The Wilwoods were phenomenal, so we decided to run a few more sessions on Sunday when it wasn't so crowded:

I had the whole track to myself. The Wilwoods have markedly decreased my braking distances and improved my lap times. Absolutely no brake fade with three consecutive hard 30 minute sessions. Russell is a great guy to deal with, and gave me some instruction at the track as well. I would recommend the RMS brake upgrade to anyone. That is all.
