And the wilwoods look sharp.

Sorry, just got back from vacation.
The Wilwood BBK is holding up GREAT. Definately worth the Money.
1, Performance: great, but this is really hard to tell, BBK are for track use to endure heat, stock brake is enough. I havn't track the car, bur break feel is excellent wet or dry. No matter which BBK you get, I am sure they all feel good.
2, Weight saving: This is more importlant than most people aware, The Wilwood saved me 8Lbs weight per corner, mostly un sprung weight, this made a HUGE difference in handling, front end is lighter, mure responsive & more smooth when cornering, NOT BRAKING, the weight saving is more like a suspension mod . You won't get the light weight with Stoptech. I wouldn't have up graded if the BBK does't shave weight.
If you have ever upgrded to heavier bigger wheels, you know the heavier feeling when you just made the change. The weight saving of Wilwood BBK reverse that heavy wheel impact.
3, Price: Best price on the market compare to other BBK.
4, Look: This is one of the big reason , just look so dam hot! I can't tolerate the tiny stock brake that look so small on G35x.
5, Spacer usage; I used 22mm spacer. No problem with it. My wheel has big lip & 45mm offset, other wheel may not need such big spacer.

Nice job, by the way.

You should use smaller offset wheel with BBK, that way smaller spacer or no spacer possible. But, smaller offset WITHOUT BBK may rub suspention. Before BBK, I needed 5mm spacer to clear the suspension with 235/45 18.
