So far they are really good. Much stiffer brake pedal and the initial braking force feels much stronger. I havent really had a chance to stand on the brakes hard yet, but I'll give it a try once they are worn in a little more.

Looks nice, I like the TD wheels on there!
Any idea if they will actually stop shorter than the stockers? I know it sounds silly, but a lot of big brake kits actually increase stopping distance because of the biasing and other factors being incorrect (though they usually gain a bunch of fade resistance and pad choice). I don't know much about the wilwood kits though.

Not sure on the specific numbers, but I would be suprised with these vs the stock setup. I didnt have much confidence in the stock brakes, they felt a bit mushy and werent very confidence inspiring.
Specific distance number though, no I dont have em.
Another 50hp stock and it would have been perfect, these should have come with the 300hp R Engine.

I know I might be a little biased but I really like the T5/R-design models.
