Fast Brakes over priced??
I would like to know why the Fast Brakes kit costs so much. The Wilwood kit is a 150 bucks less. Why does every one on this site claim Fast Brakes are so fabulous? Is there something I am missing cause the Fast Brakes kit even uses Wilwood calipers, and the Fast Brakes kit does not come with a new proportioning valve according to the product description.

I`d pay a few extra bucks to use a smaller wheel, that`s what FastBrakes offers. Plus, excellent technical support and the bracketry and what not is perfect.

You're paying for the custom brackets that lets you tuck 4-Pot Wilwoods under 14" Wheels.
Fastbrakes also has a great lineup using OEM Calipers thats much cheaper.

I'd have no problems using the cheaper wilwood kit but I don't want larger than 15" wheels on my car.

That pretty much sums it up....
