there is nothing wrong with Wilwood. They have been around alot longer than most of these newbie brake companies.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with wilwood but this isn't an official wilwood kit. It's just a kit that uses wilwood calipers put together with other components to make a economical package. Who knows how much R&D went into this for our specific vehicles. Could be great, could be crap. If I wanted a wilwood kit, I would stick with the actual factory kit where I know wilwood themselves did the proper R&D and get it right the first time.

Wilwood makes good kits and their parts here are good.

Really the only thing I see that would make a difference and is not Willwood is the brackets. The rotors are fine as long as they are the same thickness of stock rotors and pads are pads.

What's the problem?

K-Sport just came out with 13" and 14" kits for our car. I am looking into their 8pot 14" front and 6-pot 14" rear. That will do the trick!

you would have to make sure the calipers are sized correctly also the brake bias isn't screwed up

The problem is also part quality and fitment. They made a custom kit (like this one) for a shop I know and it took them 5 tries to get it right.

That is all I know.

I have this 4-pod caliper set up with 13.6" 2 piece-rotors for my sedan,

The brackets fits well.
