I have the Wilwood BBK from ArizonZcar and love them. They are lightweight and are racing caliber.

It felt like quite a bit more. Holding the lousey 1 piston 2003 OEM caliper in one hand and the 6 piston Wilwood in the other felt like night and day difference!
They are incredibly light weight and perform great. After 5 years with them I am still very happy.

Just find some OEM Brembos..make sure they have the pins to hold in the pads...you will need to get new rotors, and pads..I also suggest you get some steel braided lines and aftermarket fluid while your at it...you will have to cut off some off the dust covers in order for the rotors to fit...the front calipers bolt right up..but for the rears you will need to get some new bolts because they do not screw into the rear calipers...you can get some bolts that will screw into them at your local hardware store...just take one of the bolts into the store with you so you get the same length bolt that you will be putting on there...
