Message	Just put a set of the Wilwood brakes on. They do squeal, and grind a bit in slow traffic manuvers, but this is mostly with the pads it comes with. I'm going to try to create some shims for the pads or switch the ceramic compounds. The ceramic pads supposably come with anti-rattle clips and do a better job of preloading the pads for street driving. A big plus is the kit was fashioned with the master cylinder pressure ratios in mind. So modulation is relatively easy and they feel like the stock brakes from the pedal. Its not like the 6 pistons are on/off switches. The pistons in the caliper are of three different sizes. As far as the price goes. Most of the big brake kits start off or are about the same price. The difference is this kit fits under the stock rims.
