ok, so, anyone done big brake upgrades?

All i seem to find on the net are kits for Brembo, and Stop Tech and occasionally i see one for Rotora, anyone put any of these in ( im talking about the 13inch upgrades they all seem to run about 2000$)
what i want to know is;
1. are they happy with them
2. was it worth the money for someone who takes his car to the track occasionally
3. anyone know if Wilwood makes a kit?

i just didn't want a whole section of this forum to have nothing in it...was starting to look a little barren.

BTW, i'm going with Wilwood brakes (fronts only) i have 18inch rims and they look like they will fit no problem and have more bang for the buck...doesn't sound right...less squeak for the cent, no, how about more squeeze for the cheese?

1. Yes you'll be happy with them.
2. The 6 piston might be overkill, you could probably get away with the 4 piston with a larger rotor.
3. Yes.
