Dave stated he was looking to maximize performance, and therefore save weight, so he didn't build the rear rotors hats to incorporate the stock style drum emergency brake. Fastbrake did.

Yeah, that's right. The stock parking brake will only be comprised if you get the rear kit.

Yeah, I'm thinking ArizonaZCar for front brakes and some other for the rears.
I must be able to pass State Inspection.

Dang...I am debating if I should go with the StopTech 14" BBK in front and no rear or just go for the whole front and rear setup that wilwood offers. They end up about the same price. I'm doing this BBK this weekend/next week. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Why are they the same price? Is there such a difference in quality and performance that the Stoptech BBK warrants this price or are the Wilwoods just not good enough to warrant a premium price? Will one setup out-perform the other? Thanks.

I'm getting some used StopTechs to avoid any confusion. I am getting some used 14" Stoptech in front for $1900.

Wilwood

The calipers could be easily painted. I plan to paint my blue after install.

IM getting confused here on some of the information. When I get home from work tonight I will post the part numbers of the correct 6 & 4 piston calipers. The rear brakes should come with hats that will fit over your stock parking brake. There is lots of room for wheels if you have the correct setup. I will see If I can find all my install pictures. My guess would be if your going to up grade your brakes, Do it "First class" The setup I was lucky to buy is of first class craftsmanship and the balances is 100% perfect. And yes you can get them in Red.
